"Losing my daughter was a very serious pain. There was always some empty space in my heart."

"When I'm putting some communication out on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, I think that it's helping me, my brain, you know, because it's always somehow stimulated by people who are sending things to me. And it works both ways. It's great. My brain is very happy about it."

"I see so many activists... who are artists because they feel that they have the power of communication."

"People make music to get a reaction. Music is communication."

"The regret of my life is that I have not said 'I love you' often enough."

"When you go to war, both sides lose totally."

"I think that all women are witches, in the sense that a witch is a magical being. And a wizard, which is a male version of a witch, is kind of revered, and people respect wizards. But a witch, my god, we have to burn them. It’s the male chauvinistic society that we’re living in for the longest time, 3,000 years or whatever. And so I just wanted to point out the fact that men and women are magical beings. We are very blessed that way, so I’m just bringing that out. Don’t be scared of witches, because we are good witches, and you should appreciate our magical power."

"You are water I’m waterwe’re all water in different containersthat’s why it’s so easy to meetsomeday we’ll evaporate together."

"You may think I’m small, but I have a universe inside my mind."

"Tape the sound of the moon fading at dawn. Give it to your mother to listen to when she's in sorrow."

"Art is my life and my life is art."

"Each time we don't say what we wanna say, we're dying."

"Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance."
