i never asked to be your mountain

Is there someone else you feel in your dreams? You will, you see; In midnight gazes I've found you far from me; if you lead me on please leave me down. I can't swim your waters and you can't walk my lands; I'm sailing all my sins and I'm climbing all my fears. and soon now I'll fly.
You didn't understand my love, you don't know why I try. And the rain was falling on that day and that's the reason why.

oh I never asked to be your mountain. I never asked to fly.

"Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as 'Claudia'! Twelve was a turning point as I moved to a mixed school and then I became cool and discovered hair gel. " - robert pattinson

"After each experience, you grow up, you get enriched with something, and you don't know how you're going to be in six months, you don't know what you're going to want, what you're going to need." - audrey tautou

"I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future." - heath ledger

"Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers. You can fill your life up with ideas and still go home lonely. All you really have that really matters are feelings. That's what music is to me." - janis joplin

"When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do." - jimi hendrix

"I don`t think I`m very much like anyone else, really. I`m sure there are aspects of other actors that I share, but I don`t see anybody else and go, "Damn, they stole my thing". I`m me, and I like that there are people who have an appreciation for that." - zooey deschanel

"Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture." - natalie portman

art isn't separate-jeff buckley

An artist isn't separate from a person who isn't or doesn't feel they're an artist. There's artistry in human beings; it's just a human function. I find answers from music all the time. But because I most identify with music as a way of expressing myself, I just find most of my answers there. Other people find it through painting or art or teaching or murder. 

 I would be completely insane if I couldn't make music. Or I'd take up sculpture, and if I didn't have sculpture I'd take up screenplays, and if I didn't have that I'd take up something else. Anything artistic. But music seems to me to be the most closely identified with my soul. I mean, I feel that it's the best for me. It just gets into the bloodstream so quickly, for no reason at all. You can close your heart, and you can sleep even with your eyes closed, but you can never close your ears. 

bob dylan's brownsville girl

Well, I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rolling in
And you know it blows right through me like a ball and chain.
You know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far apart.
The memory of you keeps callin' after me like a rollin' train.

...Til the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies."
Ruby just smiled and said, "Ah, you know some babies never learn."

Oh if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now. You know, I feel pretty good, but that ain't sayin' much. I could feel a whole lot better

Strange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than people who are most content. 

I don't have any regrets, they can talk about me plenty when I'm gone. 

You always said people don't do what they believe in, they just do what's most convenient, then they repent.

My So-Called Life

"I loved Jordan Catalano so much, and talked about him so much, and thought about him so much, it was like he lived inside me. Like he had taken possession of my soul, or something. And then one day... I got over him!"- Angela

"We both stopped talking. Part of his sleeve was touching my arm. I don't know if he knew. Then everything started to seem perfect, for some reason. The feel of his shirt against my elbow. The fact that I still had an elbow. It was the perfect moment for him to kiss me...for him to anything me."- Angela



"You know how sometimes the last sentence you said, like, echoes in your brain? And it just keeps sounding stupider? And you have to say something else just to make it stop?" - Angela


"What I was thinking, as like a New Year's resolution, is to stop getting so caught up in my own thoughts, cause I'm way too introspective. I think...But what if not thinking turns me into this really shallow person? I'd better rethink this becoming-less-introspective thing...Okay, so I'll stay introspective. But I do resolve to stop doing Jordan Catalano's homework" -Angela

"Have you ever just, like, completely given up on someone, and then something happens, and you go, "Oh my God. There's so much more to this person than I ever dreamed!" -Angela



"Can you imagine what that's like? To have to sit around trying to figure out what someone else is, like, thinking?" -Jordan Catalano



Rickie : Okay, see the Egyptians, they wore eyeliner to...ward off the evil spirits. They believed that if they outlined their eyes, that the good spirits would spot 'em easier. I read it in a book. So that's why I tried it. The eyeliner, I mean.
Brian : So you believe in, like, evil spirits?
Rickie : Oh no, I, I'm Catholic. Basically, I just like how it looks.
"When you call someone's name, like, kind of loud, and they don't hear you, it makes you feel really lonely." - Angela

If you've never seen, or at least heard of My So-Called Life, I feel very very sorry for you poor unfortunate soul. I honestly think it was one of the best 90's shows... yet it was very short lived. These pictures can only show so much. You have to watch it to get all the magic. There are many great quotes also.

SIENNA

 I think with any woman, if you’re feeling a bit down and you put on a great jacket or a great top, you can feel a little bit better about yourself with clothes, but I think people think I’m more fashion-y than I actually am as a person. I don’t have a stylist; I don’t plan outfits. It’s quite thrown together and I often look quite disheveled. But I think clothes and bright colors can definitely help a mood, the way you feel, yeah.

Just from watching other actors and going back and watching films like Oh Boy, there are certain things I can do to keep me inspired. I’m not somebody who sits there and I’m not a self-nurturer. I think I’m more hard on myself than that. Maybe that’s something I should try to be better at, but I think I draw massive inspiration from art and poetry and literature and other great actors and other great performances, and I’m nutured by that.
