Why fall in love, when you can fall asleep
Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language.
I’ve never gotten over what they call stagefright. I go through it every show. I’m pretty concerned, I’m pretty much thinking about the show. I never get completely comfortable with it, and I don’t let the people around me get comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it’s a new crowd out there, it’s a new audience, and they haven’t seen us before. So it’s got to be like the first time we go on.
When you are extra strong, you have a special obligation to be sweet to others
You may have had fun at the time teasing, but in fact it wasn’t much fun to be teased. But I thank you, somewhere, for having done it, because it made me take up something that I love to this day – and that no one, then or now, can take me away from.
If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.
There are no limits to what you can accomplish, except the limits you place on your own thinking.
The early bird catches the worm. The early worm gets eaten.
I am a bourgeois, but I am not a Left-woman. I was born a bourgeois, and I have always tried not to stand on a pedestal and say that I am a worker. That would be false talk. Nor during the many years when the red hirelings were around and held their noses at the thought of “Matador” and everything else I did. I’m not a peasant either. I was born a bourgeois, but that is why I can criticise the bourgeoisie and their shabby schemes, which I can easily see through.
Don’t just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.
It’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.
I only earn 11 kroner per trip I sell, but it also becomes a part when I sell a million trips a year.
The one who comes first to the mill gets milled first
My legacy is that I stayed the course… from start to finish because I believed in something inside of me.
When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving, him a liar: you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
If one is silent for too long, then the tongue withers
All warfare is based on deception.
I dont do drugs. I am drugs.
Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do ‘em all together, I guess.
The longer I stay at home, the more homeless I look.
If we think that the way we live is good enough, then we’re completely wrong. You have to be able to doubt so that you can see that it can be done differently.
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired at the age of eighteen.
Sometimes it’s strange being me. I travel the world meeting people, I’m surrounded with friends and my life is full, but all the time I am confronted by a young man I have nothing in common with. He is me, but he is not me now. In fact I have been me now for longer than I was him, but no one wants to know about me.
Now the gossip must stop. Now I’m tired of getting sucked into your columns. Then you must sue me if you dare.
My articles were based on something I wanted to change. Everyone has the right to a decent life, and I thought it was important to give vulnerable people support and confidence. I was brought up to respect other people.
