Lauren Hutton // "The thing is to really look at yourself hard—lock that door, don't let anyone in...just try to get rid of everyone's ideas of what you are, who you're supposed to be and take a good look."
Colin Wilson // "The mind has exactly the same power as the hands; not merely to grasp the world, but to change it."
George Carlin // "Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over your body."
Maurice Sendak // "I said anything I wanted because I don't believe in children...I don't believe in childhood...I don't believe there's a demarcation. 'Oh you mustn't tell them that. You mustn't tell them that.' You tell them anything you want. Just tell them if it's true. If it's true, you tell them."
Steve McQueen // "I'm about challenging people. Like, properly challenging them and their assumptions."
Frank Lloyd Wright // "The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life."
Goldie Hawn // "You often meet your fate on the road you take to avoid it."
Charlie Chaplin // "Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing... Think of the power of the universe — turning the Earth, growing trees. That's the same power within you — if you'll only have the courage and the will to use it."
Rick Rubin // "I have a theory: What seems in balance to us, whether aurally or visually, comes from a distant, primal memory of something in nature. When something rings true, it's because it harkens back to some truth in the universe. You just know it when it happens. With artists, you can see it happen. A band will be playing and something starts happening and everyone starts looking at each other in a certain way. It's by no means an exact science. It's just a feeling that is."
Johnny Depp // "My sickness is that I'm fascinated by human behavior, by what's underneath the surface, by the worlds inside people."
Marc Jacobs // "No one ever said 'no' to me about anything. No one ever told me anything was wrong. Never. No one ever said, 'You can't be a fashion designer.' No one ever said, 'You're a boy and you can't take tap dancing lessons.' No one ever said, 'You're a boy and you can't have long hair.'"
Kanye West // "Society has put up so many boundaries, so many limitations on what's right and wrong that it's almost impossible to get a pure thought out. It's like a little kid, a little boy, looking at colors, and no one told him what colors are good...before somebody tells you you shouldn't like pink because that's for girls, or you instantly become a gay two-year-old. Why would anyone pick blue over pink? Pink is obviously a better color. Everyone's born confident, and everything's taken away from you."
