Personal Quotes

I want to make people cry even when they don’t understand my words.

When you reach the top, you should remember to send the elevator back down for the others.

Use your faults, use your defects; then you’re going to be a star.

I was hungry. I was cold. But I was also free. Free not to get up in the morning, not to go to bed at night, free to get drunk if I liked, to dream… to hope.

Every damn fool thing you do in this life you pay for.
