I am not bound to please thee with my answer.

I think the key to acting is to be able to let go of your ego and be yourself.

One should never write down or up to people, but out of yourself.

I celebrate myself, and sing myself.

I think the crucial thing in the writing career is to find what you want to do and how you fit in. What somebody else does is of no concern whatever except as an interesting variation.

I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

I believe every person has a story that comes out from the way they talk, their opinion, their mindset and their body language.

Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.

I’m happy to be a writer – of prose, poetry, every kind of writing. Every person in the world who isn’t a recluse, hermit or mute uses words. I know of no other art form that we always use.
