“I like being on my own better than I like anything else, but I can't give up love. Maybe it's the tension between longing and aloneness that I need. My own funicular railway, holding in balance the two things most likely to destroy me.”

“I personally like being unique. I like being my own person with my own style and my own opinions and my own toothbrush.”

“I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.”

“I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.”

“The actual stuff my family owned, those boxes under my stairs, I can't quite bear to look at. I like other people's things better. They come with other people's history.”

“I don't need anyone to hold me, I can hold my own.”

“When I hold you in my arms,
I know that I can't do no wrong.
And when I hold you in my arms,
My love can't do me no harm.And I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice.
So nice, so nice, well I got you.”

“With my own group I like to keep it loose. They have to counter rather than go with me. When they stop I like to be moving.”

“I don't like to be my own audience, I find that being my own audience, being in the audience, makes me self-conscious, basically. So I tune in sometimes, with the sound off, to check it out and I back up to it. In the future I will look at it when some time has passed.”

“You need anything else…

You to touch me like I matter…”
