Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.
Subject: Talent

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more.

I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as part of life specifically fear of change and fear of the unknown;and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says, turn back, turn back,you'll die if you venture too far.

You take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.

It is the city of mirrors, the city of mirages, at once solid and liquid, at once air and stone.

Jealousy is all the fun you think they had.

I have accepted fear as a part of life - specifically the fear of change... I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back.

Every country gets the circus it deserves. Spain gets bullfights. Italy gets the Catholic Church. America gets Hollywood.

You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.

Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow that talent to the dark place where it leads.

Everyone has a talent, what is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.

Gossip is the opiate of the oppressed.

Growing up female in America. What a liability! You grew up with your ears full of cosmetic ads, love songs, advice columns, whoreoscopes, Hollywood gossip, and moral dilemmas on the level of TV soap operas. What litanies the advertisers of the good life chanted at you! What curious catechisms!

Ambivalence is a wonderful tune to dance to. It has a rhythm all its own.

He who can take advice is sometimes superior to him who can give it.

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.

Men and women, women and men. It will never work.

The stones themselves are thick with history, and those cats that dash through the alleyways must surely be the ghosts of the famous dead in feline disguise.

If sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities, it's because they lead to the knowledge that you own your own body (and with it your own voice), and that's the most revolutionary insight of all.

Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness.
