I've never been out with any of the cast of Coronation Street. We're all very close friends so it's very much a professional attitude.
But I think bands that rolled in with a big attitude, like they were some big deal, I just found that very strange.
My dad instilled in me a great sense of humor. I wasn't bullied at school because my outward attitude was confident, and that helps.
This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.
The last thing I wanted was to be with someone who's the same age as me and wanted the limelight, wanted the attention. There's lots of girls out there who do.
When I got near teen age, I was so happy with my friends and the African-American culture that I couldn't imagine not being part of it.
From a very young age, militarism and trying to solve the world's problems through militarism is something that has always resonated with me as being a bad idea.
I have a theory that there are still parts of our mental worlds that are still based around the age of between five and eight, and we just kind of pretend to be grown-up.
I thought that maybe it is not so much, as he seems to think, that the world loses interest in female performers after they hit a certain age, than the performers lose interest in the world.
I felt connected with Madonna from a very young age. I think I share a lot of qualities from her personality. I really respect her.
At the age of 15 months my daughter was diagnosed with very bad asthma, and essentially I put my career on hold for a good eight years.
I know virtually no one of my age who can remember a hug, or a smile from their father, or a 'Let's go play football.'
There are a lot of people out there who lie about their age and I think it does us all a disservice. It can't all be over when you hit 30. That would be rubbish.
I want to be age appropriate. I don't want to be that girl you see walking away and she looks 25 and then she turns around and she looks 90.
These are fountains of salvation that they who thirst may be satisfied with the living words they contain. In these alone is proclaimed the doctrine of godliness. Let no man add to these, neither let him take out from these.
Around the time I graduated from high school, I decided better to underachieve and have friendship than to overachieve and be alone.
Nobody was playing the soprano saxophone and certainly nobody was trying to do anything with it. So I was all alone. I didn't know that at first.
It's amazing that this is still news to people, but that affects the final outcome of the film. When people are treated well, and they're made to feel valued, they give 110 percent.
We don't have performances as big as 'Lemonade Mouth' on 'Zeke and Luther,' but they're both amazing experiences; just, 'Lemonade Mouth' was a bit bigger. It was different for me.
When you're offered things, it makes it so much easier to be indecisive. And it's silly because you can pass on some really amazing things.
Watching a company develop is like watching a puppy grow. When you can watch something grow that you created - it's really an amazing feeling.
