"We go through life. We shed our skins. We become ourselves."
"To be an artist — actually, to be a human being in these times — it’s all difficult. … What matters is to know what you want and pursue it."
"Never let go of that fiery sadness called desire."
"My mission is to communicate, to wake people up, to give them my energy and accept theirs. We're all in it together, and I respond emotionally as a worker, a mother, an artist, and a human being with a voice. We all have a voice. We have the responsibility to exercise it, to use it."
"Where does it all lead? What will become of us? These were our young questions, and young answers were revealed. It leads to each other. We become ourselves."
