It is better to understand a part of truth and apply it to our lives than to understand nothing at all and flounder helplessly in a vain attempt to pierce the mystery of existence.

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

As soon as you start talking about mystique, you have none.

I'm not afraid to speak out, and say things that I want to do, or do the things that I want to do ... I think in the end, being natural, and being ... actually genuine is what wins.

There's a lot of freedom today and you can put yourself across anyway you want to. But I haven't CHOSEN this image. I'm myself and in fact half the time I let the wind take me.

It's so much easier to know who you are when there aren't a thousand people telling you who they think you are.
