Salvador Dali // "I enjoy tremendously every single moment of my life because death, all the time, is very close watching me and death might catch me. And every five minutes death don't catch me, I enjoy tremendously."
River Phoenix // "It's not about a career. It's about believing in something, it's about prosperity. And it's about caring and empathizing and wanting to create the best, the most true to life, the most real."
Benjamin Franklin // "All highly competent people continually search for ways to keep learning, growing and improving. They do that by asking 'why.' After all, the person who knows 'how' will always have a job, but the person who knows 'why' will always be the boss."
Morgan Freeman // "You get what you want. I'm making the distinction between "want" and "would like to have." What you want is what you're going to put on the refrigerator door. You're going to focus on that and get it. It's going to happen. It's unstoppable."
Debbie Harry // "People always surprise you. There's usually something in everyone that you can find to make them likable if you have the patience to wait."
Madonna // "My drive in life is from this horrible fear of being mediocre."
Alexander McQueen // "I don't think it makes sense to play safe in these times. The world needs fantasy..."
Spike Jonze // "I think, as you're growing up, your emotions are just as deep as they are when you're an adult. Your ability to feel lonely, longing, confused or angry are just as deep. We don't feel things more as we get older."
Diana Vreeland // "I do think that we all have inner energy... Frustration and fear of course are the two greatest obstacles that keep any form of energy and vitality completely paralyzed... I sincerely believe that energy grows from itself and the more energy you expand...the more you create within yourself. I also believe that energy is habit... In other words, use your energy and more energy flows and then it is very hard to stop it...as if one would ever want to!"
Tim Burton // "I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words."
David Bowie // "Never work for other people...always, always remember that the reason that you initially started working was that there was something inside yourself that you felt, that if you could manifest it in some way, you would understand more about yourself and how you co-exist with the rest of society... And the other thing I would say is that if you feel safe in the area that you're working in, you're not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you're capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth and when you don't feel that you're feet are quite touching the bottom, you're just about in the right place to do something exciting."
Jean-Luc Godard // "It's not where you take things from – it's where you take them to."
