"From the dawn of exact knowledge to the present day, observation, experiment, and speculation have gone hand in hand; and, whenever science has halted or strayed from the right path, it has been, either because its votaries have been content with mere unverified or unverifiable speculation (and this is the commonest case, because observation and experiment are hard work, while speculation is amusing); or it has been, because the accumulation of details of observation has for a time excluded speculation."

-- Thomas Huxley

“I gave myself permission to care, because there are a lot of people in this world who are afraid of caring, who are afraid of showing they care because itâ€™s uncool. Itâ€™s uncool to have passion. Itâ€™s so much easier to lose when youâ€™ve shown everyone how much you donâ€™t care if you win or lose. Itâ€™s much harder to lose when you show that you care, but youâ€™ll never win unless you also stand to lose. Iâ€™ve said it before. Donâ€™t be afraid of your passion, give it free reign, and be honest and work hard and it will all turn out just fine.”

“My first film - a challenging role and completely different from the persona that was created in Italy. I was this super energetic, vibrant, happy, volumed hair, fitted dresses, the whole Italian va-va-voom thing. And the role was a girl that was really provoking society with being unnecessarily violent - just trying to see what people's limits are. It's a really dark tunnel to get to being nasty, being full of hate. When people hate there's a big sadness and rage within them, so it was interesting to go that dark with my first experience.”
“The car has become the carapace, the protective and aggressive shell, of urban and suburban man.”
“I wasn't allowed to grow as an artist. My albums were nicer to look at than to listen to.”
