Master: When a human being asks 'WHO AM I?', the honest answer is eternal silence. Disciple: Do we make noise to feel that silence, Master?
I don't build because I am an architect. I can make true architecture because I do not build.
But I am a lover of all kinds of art. And I just can't stick to one thing. I guess I could if I made myself, but I'd always be looking the other way, for other things.
I can't do it. I can't get into a philosophical debate with an archangel, knowing how ridiculous it is and how unprepared I am.
...the more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love.
I am pushed by my critics. I don't want to say I want to prove them wrong, but it pushes me on the field to play with a chip on my shoulder, and I play best when I have a chip on my shoulder.
I believe I am a person with unusual talents. I think I'd be a liar or stupid if I were to deny that.
Indeed I did not stand as a beggar at the Parliament door, for I never was at the Parliament-House, nor stood I ever at the door as I do know or can remember; not as a petitioner I am sure.
I don't have a mentor in the strict definition. I take as much advice and inspiration as I can from the people I am close to.
I have no regrets at all. I have done quite well for myself. I didn't have a conventional face, but I have done well, and I am proud of it.
I am the poet of the poor, because I was poor when I loved; since I could not give gifts, I gave words.
I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly
When I believe, I am crazy. When I don't believe, I suffer psychotic depression.
As a child, I certainly wanted to have hair that I could grow long and flip around. I no longer want that. My own hair that I have day to day is a fuzzy afro. And that's who I am.
I believe I am blessed with the ability to fall asleep just about anytime, anywhere. I can sleep on a flight, on a couch, and even on a bus.
I heard that I have three ribs, that I have more surgeries than Cher - whatever they say, they say; I know who I am.
I want to turn 21 as soon as possible not so that I can drink (how horrific!) but so that I can say, "I am ONE and TWENTY.
I don't know - sometimes I catch myself being dark, and it's annoying. I think, 'Get over it.' I bore myself. But sometimes, like everybody, I'm sure I am obsessive.
I was always told I was ugly. I still think I am ugly. I know I've got an odd face and you can't tell me otherwise.
I have to go and say farewell to all the countries that I have been to, if I can. I am 73 now, it is taxing on me.
I don't know if I could ever really be cast in a heartthrob role apart from 'Twilight', which I didn't really know was a heartthrob role. I really don't feel I am one.
