“You care enough, that you want your life to be fulfilled in a living way, not in a painting way, not in a writing way…you really do want it to be involving in living, corresponding with other living objects, moving, changing, that kind of thing.”

“Live your life the way you want. You'll figure it out.”

“You should write, first of all, to please yourself. You shouldn't care a damn about anybody else at all. But writing can't be a way of life - the important part of writing is living. You have to live in such a way that your writing emerges from it.”

“Live the life you always wanted to live. Avoid criticizing others and concentrate on fulfilling your dreams.”

“I have always considered it despicable to grovel for your life as if life were a favor. If you cannot live the way you want, there is no point in living”

“Live your life, listen to your music way to loud, be crazy and as different as you want to be and always remember you are not alone.”

“Suppose you had the revolution you are talking and dreaming about. Suppose your side had won, and you had the kind of society you wanted. How would you live, you personally, in that society? Start living that way now! Whatever you would do then, do it now. When you run up against obstacles, people, or things that won't let you live that way, then begin to think about how to get over or around or under that obstacle, or how it push it out of the way, and your politics will be concrete and practical.”

“Life is brief and to have to spend every day of it doing what somebody else wants you to do is not the way to live it.”

“You have to go the way your blood beats. If you don't live the only life you have, you won't live some other life, you won't live any life at all.”

“Change isn't easy. Changing the way you live means changing the way you think, means changing what you believe about life. That's hard.”
