Tilda Swinton // "It's a real comfort zone for me to feel alien."
Hunter S. Thompson // "Happy," I muttered, trying to pin the word down. But it is one of those words, like Love, that I have never quite understood. Most people who deal in words don't have much faith in them and I am no exception – especially the big ones like Happy and Love and Honest and Strong. They are too elusive and far too relative when you compare them to sharp, mean little words like Punk and Cheap and Phony. I feel at home with these, because they're scrawny and easy to pin, but the big ones are tough and it takes either a priest or a fool to use them with any confidence.
Rei Kawakubo // "I want to see things differently...I want to find something that nobody has ever found."
Diana Vreeland // "What sells is hope."
Robert Bresson // "Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never been seen."
Tom Waits // "We are buried underneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness."
David Bowie // "I've always found that I collect. I am a collector. And I've always just seemed to collect personalities, ideas."
Will Smith // "Being realistic is the most common path to mediocrity."
Jon Stewart // "You take a chance, and you can work to get away from your circumstance. And by working to get away from your circumstance you can make something better of yourself, but there’s no guarantee...But you know what? The joy of it is chasing that dream."
Albert Einstein // "That is the way to learn the most...when you are doing something with such enjoyment that you don't notice that the time passes. I am sometimes so wrapped up in my work that I forget about the noon meal..."
Rinus Van de Velde // "In the end it's all about finding a way to live in this world, to create your own structure."
Angelina Jolie // "If being sane is thinking there's something wrong with being different...I'd rather be completely fucking mental."
