I went to L.A. to be Brad Pitt; now I just want to be Gene Hackman. I came to Nashville to be Kenny Chesney. I'd be very fortunate to be George Strait.
Jesus came to give us life so unimaginably beyond anything that we could ever hope to conceptualize that wonder cannot help but be our constant companion.
A guy friend and I went to California Pizza Kitchen, and a group of pretty girls came over to us and said, 'You guys are gay, right?'
It didn't matter as much because I'm a singer, not an actress, but my face is more acceptable in a way now than when I first came on the scene, because I'm part black.
In the '80s, when Gretzky came to the World Championships in the second or third game, you'd see this guy skating circles around the other ones. Unbelievable.
My father's peripatetic career also gave me critical perspective when it came to my own career choices.
The only thing that ever came close to tugging my heart strings is music. I know this because that is the only time I've felt them move.
You were not created to come to this earth and say "me too I came to live some". You were create to make a difference!
When the Chinese first came to San Francisco, they were actually welcomed by the mayor and they had special ceremonies for them-again this is when their colony was very small, only a few Chinese.
I never set out to write songs about the world around me... it just kind of came about as a result of paying more attention to things.
I was on a well-beaten path of actors - what we all call 'the Law and Order route'. I spent two years of auditioning for everything... and then 'The Wire' came up.
When I came out, I told my stepmother Gladys, and she just said she had known for years and was glad I wasn't lying anymore.
He came to find her, wanting what everyone wanted, and what only free-thinking people, not the supernatural, could give. Meaning.
I went up to the top of the career ladder and I came down again, I am past all that.
I thought it was all a flash in the pan. It wasn't until Broadway came along that I felt I had really made it.
My parents were very supportive of me and my artistic endeavours. My father and mother came to every school play I ever did.
I went to the premiere of The Detective with Sinatra, and perhaps people jumped to conclusions. He was very protective towards me and never came on to me sexually.
When I was a kid, the high point of the day was to go to the mailbox and see if any mail came for me, and I'm still stuck in that mode.
But generally speaking, I felt to engage in the political process was to sully oneself to such a degree that whatever came out wasn't worth the trouble put in.
I never really worked in Hollywood. Some American producers came to Europe to shoot films with me, so it's a different situation... It was not my aim.
I tried so hard not to be compared, so I choose to be different and it came to the point that I don't even recognized myself.
