It's hard to decide how to match words to music. It's not like it's twice the work. It's always difficult for me to explain to the composer what I'm looking for. I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music
I read and watch movies. I can't go to the movie theater much anymore, though, because I get recognized. It's worse sometimes if I wear a costume and try not to get recognized. I watch most of my films on airplanes
Even in my age now, I'm the same as before and just as fearful I only learn how to pretend to be strong
Certainly everyone, in order to protect love, Certainly wishes to believe in something
In a city [world] as dirty as this, You gather up, save, and show me Purely beautiful things.
A woman could be having fun A woman could be like a nun In order to survive We cannot be kind Until we are hurt
Surely, no one hoped for so many things. Hold the flowers close to your heart; they may someday bloom.
The lovers, appearing happy, walk, holding hands. Though it appears everything is perfect, only they know the truth.
No matter how far apart we are, don't forget that we're still under the same sky, both traveling to the place we once dreamed of.
I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now. It's not about abandoning what I was doing before, or giving up. It's about knowing that if I die tomorrow, I lived the way I wanted to.
I don't have dreams. How can I say it? I myself am a dream.
If you'd listen, even for a little while I'd be pleased Remember, once more we were born into this world crying. Your dreams and hopes for tomorrow are all in this world.
If there are rules and regulations, I can't help it, I want to break them.
If I write when I'm low, it will be a dark song, but I don't care. I want to be honest with myself at all times.
