I'm following my dreams and doing what I love as a designer. I did not want to be one of those kids with a famous last name that doesn't do anything. That is very unfulfilling to me and I'm very happy.

No I never had any dreams. The process of art is a dream in itself. The artist just doesn't... you work out something. It's yours. You don't have to go to sleep to do that. You do that on the canvas.

A player dreams of being a superstar but he doesn't want people flocking all over him asking for an autograph.

A friend told me that teenage girls are always looking for someone to pin their dreams on. That doesn't make it any less weird though.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic it takes sweat determination and hard work.

I'm not strictly vegetarian but meat doesn't play a big part in my diet.

Frankly I don't trust any diet that doesn't allow sugar.

A friend doesn't go on a diet because you are fat.

I'm an artist. So if acting doesn't work out which I hope it does I'm probably going to go into graphic design or something like that.

While a case can be made for intelligent design I can't figure out why some Christians are so thrilled about that possibility. First of all it doesn't prove there's a God. If anything intelligent design lends support to some form of pantheism that defines God as immanent within nature.

You can be a mason and build 50 buildings but it doesn't mean you can design one.

Obviously I come from one background and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years and they know what works and doesn't work.

Good design doesn't date.

Death doesn't frighten me now I can think peacefully of ending a long life.

I rely on guns for protection in life. God does not say 'This is la-la land.' God doesn't say 'Welcome to Earth. Everything's perfect. There's no crime. There's no murder. There's no death.' The world is imperfect and you have to be on guard.

Lots of people there seemed to be in denial in absolute denial of death - everybody's pretending that death doesn't happen in L.A. if you do enough exercise and take enough wheatgrass and have your pill every day you might not die.

Nature creates while destroying and doesn't care whether it creates or destroys as long as life isn't extinguished as long as death doesn't lose its rights.

Why would you be afraid of death? It would be an inconvenience. I have a lot of undone things and it's bound to get in the way. But no it doesn't scare me at all.

I was never afraid of failure after that because I think coming that close to death you get kissed. With the years the actual experience of course fades but the flavor of it doesn't. I just had a real sense of what choice do I have but to live fully?

In almost every interview someone asks what does HIM stand for. I can't even remember our latest lie about that. When Hanson was hot we said it means Hanson Is Murder. The name doesn't have a particular history. His Infernal Majesty was a totally different band. I think HIM derives from some death metal joke.

My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father meeting my husband and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much.

Death obsesses me yes it does. I can't really understand why it doesn't obsess everyone - I think it does really I'm just a little more out about it.

Death doesn't affect the living because it has not happened yet. Death doesn't concern the dead because they have ceased to exist.

The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.
