“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”

“When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them.”

As quoted in "A Beautiful Child" in Music for Chameleons (1980) by Truman Capote

“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.”

“It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.”

“It’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”

Variant: Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

“I don’t stop when I’m tired. I only stop when I’m done…”

“A wise girl knows her limits, a smart girl knows that she has none.”

“That's the way you feel when you're beaten inside. You don't feel angry at those who've beaten you. You just feel ashamed.”

“I want to grow old without facelifts… I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you.”
