Tilda Swinton // "I don't have a career. I have a life."

Virginia Woolf // "The strange thing about life is that...no one has left any adequate account of it. The streets...have their map; but our passions are uncharted. What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?"

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."
