Literatures, like trees and plants, are born of a land and in it flourish and die. But literatures, also like plants, may be carried abroad to take root in a foreign soil.
I tend to approach giving interviews with the same sense of circumspection and restraint as I approach my writing. That is to say, virtually none. When asked what I made of blogs like my own, blogs written by parents about their children, I said, 'A blog like this is narcissism in its most obscene flowering.'
Just Cavalli for Her is a flowery and sexy fragrance. I like its freshness and feminine scent.
I don't want everything to be flowery perfection. I like it there to be a charge behind it, you know?
I'm a bit of a like girly-girl, really, I like flowery stuff.
Success is full of promise till one gets it, and then it seems like a nest from which the bird has flown.
I feel like everybody is against Floyd Mayweather. I don't get any respect.
I used to drink. I didn't like reading, but I discovered the benefits of it. I read that Floyd Mayweather never drinks - and he is the blueprint for boxing.
I look at guys like - guys like Floyd Mayweather making $42 million dollars for a pay-per-view - what am I doing differently from what this guy's doing?
A fluent tongue is the only thing a mother don't like her daughter to resemble her in.
I really wished I'd learned Spanish. I took it all in high school and was planning on trying to be fluent in it. I would get Selena tracks and sing with them and stuff like that.
You just need the ear. But the ear is something, I guess, that you can't buy. And I can't play the piano fluently, but I feel like my ear is my strong point.
I don't like to make fluffy little songs, but now I want to make some light songs.
Textures apply to everything I do. Even within my music, I like smooth things, and then hard and fluffy things, all giving them their place to shine.
One of my favorite fall items is a turtleneck. Cozy pieces like that for the fall - cashmere, fluffy cream turtlenecks - I think that's so sexy.
My own experience of gender has been about a lot of fluidity. In drag, I like to combine aspects of masculinity and femininity and rewrite the rules for those.
When I see a wall that's hung with different objects, framed or unframed, what I like about it is its fluidity and rule-breaking nature. Just experiment a bit.
In the early days, I just got lucky. I would audition for everything and just happen to land in something pretty respectable, like 'Freaks and Geeks,' my first job, which was a complete fluke.
Bits and pieces flung into the universe, sticking in the sky like cotton balls on a jet black velcro surface.
I feel like I flunked at adolescence really badly. I found it really difficult.
