“I just think of things as beautiful or not. Can't you understand? I don't think of good or bad. Just of beautiful or ugly. I think a lot of nice things are ugly and a lot of nasty things are beautiful.”

“In stories like Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, they always say the heroine is 'as good as she is beautiful.' I wondered if people just wanted that to be true, wanted the beautiful to be good. I wondered if they wanted the ugly to be bad because then they wouldn't have to feel bad for them.”

“I do feel like I have important, beautiful things to say about the world, I just can't think of them at this particular instant.”

“I think there is beauty in everything. What ‘normal’ people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it”

“I don't think it is as much a human foible as it is a human curse that we cannot understand the beauty of a thing until it is gone.”

“I cry a lot-I don't know why, but it just helps me. I cry over bad and good stuff-sometimes sadness can be beautiful”
