Quotes

• “I don't know what my fans are going to think. It's definitely not what they're used to from me.”
• “I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they're reading the damn screen. That's more reading than people used to do.”
• “I think romance basically starts with respect. And new romance always starts with respect. I think I have some romantic friendships. Like the song “Love the One You’re With”; there is something to that. It’s not just make love to whomever you’re with, it’s just love whomever you’re with. And love can be seeing that here we are and there’s this world here. If I go to my room and I watch TV, I didn’t really live. If I stay in my hotel room and watch TV, I didn’t live today.”
• “Melancholic and lovable is the trick, right? You've got to be able to show that you have these feelings. In the game of life, you get these feelings and how you deal with those feelings. What you do when you are trying to deal with a melancholy. A melancholy can be sweet. It's not a mean thing, but it's something that happens in life — like autumn.”
• “I always like to say to people who want to be rich and famous, try being rich first. See if that doesn't cover most of it.”
• “"I suppose we should never be horrified by what we see in the mirror. Or maybe we should never wish to be content with what we see in the mirror."”
