I don't try to make anybody outside happy.

If your writing is good, if it resonates, if it connects the dots for anybody out there, the lovers will come, the haters will come, support will come — sometimes in the form of money, sometimes in the form of something less expected — and it balances.

Collecting the dots. Then connecting them. And then sharing the connections with those around you. This is how a creative human works. Collecting, connecting, sharing.

I feel like if I were to play the game completely and just get myself in a giant bottle of nail polish and put myself on display, I would feel like I had somehow cosmically lost.

One of the things that I am so frightened by lately is that men are having just as difficult a time striking a balance as we are.

Meditation, especially for people who dont know very much about it and think its this very hippy dippy thing, can really be powerful, terrifying even, as it lifts the rug up on your subconscious and the dust comes flying out.

If you're going to make work and you're going to write and you're going to put yourself out there and perform, you will be belittled, you will be insulted, you will be called a standard collection of names, you will be accused, and you just have to stand there and continue to work and find a way to not let those things poison you.

Eat the pain. Send it back into the void as love.

I remember being a teenager and being really impressed by let's sit around and b*tch people, and I have so little time for those people nowadays.

You know what’s really cool? Wake up every morning, decide what you feel like doing, and do it.

Twitter fascinates me because it's real. It feels kind of unreal, but it makes very real things happen.

I suffer mornings most of all I feel so powerless and small By ten o'clock I'm back in bed Fighting the jury in my head
