Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light, and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery — celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: ‘It’s not where you take things from — it’s where you take them to.’ 

Who hurt you

“If you are not enough for yourself, you will never be enough for someone else.”

It’s extremely important to realize that you were beautiful before someone noticed and you’ll remain beautiful in their absence.

“I hope you fall in love with someone who never lets you fall asleep thinking you’re unwanted.”
