Quotes

  2. We'll be remembered more for what we destroy than what we create.

  3. The future is just wasted on some people.

  5. The truth is I was addicted to being beautiful, and that's not something you just walk away from. Being addicted to all that attention, I had to quit cold turkey.

  6. If I can't be beautiful, I want to be invisible.

  7. The wild daisies and Indian paintbrush are just the genitals of a different life form.

  8. Only when we eat up this planet will God give us another.

  9. A Million fucking fashion makeovers that only leave me trapped being me.

  11. All around us, erosion and insects are just chewing up the world, never mind people and pollution. Everything biodegrades with or without you pushing.

  12. You're safe because you're trapped inside your culture.
