“I think the best day will be when we no longer talk about being gay or straight. It’s not a gay wedding, it’s just a wedding. It’s not a gay marriage, it’s just a marriage.”

Sexy doesn’t have to come with the price tag of being dumb.

I’m pretty confident and, at the same time, I’m pretty insecure. I’m like a walking conflict.

I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may piss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion.

Women have fought so long and hard for our rights and equality, and now all our attention is put on being a size 0.

Cutting, and suicide, two very different symptoms of the same problem, are gaining on us. I personally don’t know a single person who doesn’t know at least two of these victims personally.

Loads of my friends are lesbians, and it really annoys me that gay people aren’t allowed to get married in most parts of America. I’d go on a march for gay rights any time.

If God is the DJ, then Life is the dance floor; Love is the rhythm and You are the music.

Long-term relationships are an everyday choice. It’s harder to be in a marriage than it is to bounce from one relationship to the next.

I can turn heartbreak into songs that help other people.

I was a very defensive kid ’cause I was really sensitive underneath and didn’t want people to know. So I came off as very tough and very angry.

On her daughter: And she’s going through all these changes. You know, it’s just crazy times.

The aggressive side of me comes across in my music, but I’m just a sweet girl.

I’m taking my rats. Those are my friends for the tour. Thelma and Louise. They’re so cute.

The problem was, I was labeled as trouble – so I was like, ‘Trouble? I’ll show you trouble. You want trouble, well here it is!’ No matter what label they give you, the best thing you can do is prove them wrong.

The last time I checked, the only difference between my gay friends and I is who we choose to love. I’m not sure how that warrants a loss of rights, but it needs to stop. What ever happened to liberty and justice for all?

I have never really encountered anybody that was rude to me. Well, not to my face anyway.

People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind.

Good to forgive, Best to forget.

Best be yourself, imperial, plain, and true.

If a man really loves a woman, of course he wouldn’t marry her for the world if he were not quite sure that he was the best person she could possibly marry.

My objectives are very limited. I want to do the best I can with the talent God gave me. I hope to goodness that every novel I do gets better and better, not worse and worse.

Grow old with me. The best is yet to be. The last of life for which the first was made.

Absence was always your best side.

Best way to live in California is to be from somewheres else.
