Alice James Quotes

It's super dope when you connect with something personally.

Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.

Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you - almost seems to speak through you, in fact.

Even if a story has nothing to do with my life, if I can recognise something of myself in the character and think, 'Oh yeah, that's what I'd do...' Yeah, that's what I look for.

Circumstance has no value. It is how one relates to a situation that has value. All true meaning resides in the personal relationship to a phenomenon... what it means to you.

The very best design, I feel, is that which resonates so deeply that people can't help but discover something within themselves when they see it.

I don't really know what I'm ever looking for, it's kind of like whatever happens to resonate at the time with me.

Everyone of them words rang true and glowed like burning coal, pouring off every page like it was written in my soul from me to you.

That is, to me at least, one of the most helpful and useful things books do for us: They are generous enough to allow us to choose what matters to us.

I can share my experiences with people, and they identify with it and sing it back to me. That's the best feeling in the world.

All my songs mean something to me.

Everyone has loved 'Chhichhore' for a different reason, which I think for an actor is the best thing to hear. What I've been most touched by is that most people have discovered something new about the film when they have walked in the second time.

Some songs just resonate with you.

I think 'Bittersweet' is one of the best songs ever written. The idea of it just really spoke to me.

Looking at the original lyrics [of "A Song For You" ] as I was preparing it, I thought, "Wow! I feel like it was written for me." That's what a great song does. You don't have to do a lot of homework. You can just say the words and it springs to life.

A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual, and only the individual reader is important to me. I don't give a damn for the group, the community, the masses, and so forth.

Loneliness and solitude are two different things. When you are lonely, it is easy to delude yourself into believing that you are on the right path. Solitude is better for us, as it means being alone without feeling lonely. But eventually it is best to find a person, the person who will be your mirror. Remember, only in another person's heart can you truly see yourself and the presence of God within you.

Instead of taking the 'I'm cool, I hope you adore me' path (with my music), I chose the path of how to connect. I think that's the reason a lot of people feel a deeper connection with our band than other bands, and I also feel that's why people polarize on us. If you don't get it, it seems preposterous; if you do get it, it's really heavy - it has a weight to it.

Reading the Bible can be like meeting someone you don't know who, oddly, somehow seems to know you deeply. It's uncanny.

For people to link my music to their lives, it's incredible, there's no other feeling like it.

That doesn't matter. If it speaks to them and they get something positive from it, it's great.

It’s always about, somehow, finding a part of myself that is relevant, and then turning the volume up on that particular part. So, I am all of the characters I've ever played, and I am none of them at the same time.

If you should find yourself in a place that is indifferent to you and there is someone there that your spirit stretches to, then that person is kin.
