“It’s really never fair to judge people because none of us know what’s going on inside anyone else’s head.”

A film should be somewhat personal. I think that whatever you create you have to be true to yourself and create something that feels right to you.

I understand that I have a certain look that can be used to my advantage. I know the power of that when I walk into a room and talk to people, and I can use it as an advertising tool. Now I am actually selling me, my face, my thoughts. So I am my guy.

If I’m sending emails, and I get all wound up and stressed and don’t know what to do with myself for 20 minutes, I just go soak in hot water and lie there, thinking, ‘What should I do?’ So it’s meditative.

I am one of those people who isn’t great at anything, but I’m pretty good at most things.

I believe that when you really want to do something, you should go ahead and do it. I mean, I feel fear, but I never let that stop me.

The seventies is what I love. Soft, touchable beauty is what I love.

It’s hard not to be sexy in a pair of high heels.

What is important is that we stop and realize, “Okay. This is fine. I can enjoy that. But what is really important, what I’m really going to take away with me from this life, is my connection with other people.

I know one day I’ll be irrelevant. No matter how hard you try there is a cultural moment, but eventually that window’s gone, your time on Earth is finished, and you might as well leave. I could absolutely die tomorrow – I would not care. I feel like I’ve lived, I feel like I’ve had a great life.

Want girls to let you put your fingers in certain places? Get a manicure.

When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen.

On the one hand, I want to go off and live in the desert with my dog and sculpt things out of adobe.

Perfection is almost an illness with me, but sometimes I have moments where everything is absolutely clear and you can feel, rather than think.

Real fashion change comes from real changes in real life. Everything else is just decoration.

Oh my God, so many young girls now look like whores!

I believe in living life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that, you don’t really need to have New Year’s resolutions.

Being angry and resentful of someone is like letting them live rent-free in your head.

To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They’ve got their heads screwed on a lot better.

The idea of taking a song, envisioning the overall sound in my head and then bringing the arrangement to life in the studio…well, that gives me satisfaction like nothing else.

There’s not an idea in our heads that has not been worn shiny by someone else’s brains.

Every now and then I hear voices in my head, but not very clear. I can’t understand what they are saying. It’s a mental illness. I have been diagnosed as a manic depressive.

I have the feeling that he would rather see a good cause fail than succeed if he were not the head of it.

If a man wants to objectify a woman, he will do it even if she’s clad from head to toe.

I’m my own worst critic, and if I don’t pull off what I think I wanted to do in my head, then I won’t be a happy girl.
