I competed with Yahoo for 15-1/2 years, and the one thing I tried to do over the years was desperately try to get a deal with them.
Last year, I co-sponsored the Highlands Conservation Act and in a bipartisan effort we passed the bill through Congress.
I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.
The solo years have been more meaningful to the audiences than the Smiths years, but the press in England only write about me in relation to the Smiths era.
I spent my last year of high school in Latin America, and there's a edge of salsa under all of my rhythms.
I basically did comedy there for about a year, and then moved to New York. If I had it to do over again, I would have booked myself on the road for at least a year.
When I was 19 years old, I came down with anorexia. I had it for about a year before it became public. And it had a lot to do with my self-esteem.
I lied for years and years. And the thing about lies and secrets is that they eat you alive from the inside. I would not wish that pain on anyone.

I said, 'I'll give myself two years. If I can't support myself as an actress within two years, then I'll go back to choreography.'
Quite understandably, people think that if there's a six-year gap or whatever, that it's taken me six years to make the album. It's not really like that at all.
Fairy tales represent hundreds of years of stories based on thousands of years of stories told by hundreds, thousands, perhaps even millions of tellers.
Whether you are a twelve-year-old princess or a twelve-year-old regular kid, you need to know you are loved and respected.
It's not the case of turning in a bunch of songs and recording the next month. I think you're looking for songs all year long and you're writing all year long.
It's scary to sign a six-year contract for something that you don't necessarily know about. And yet I did that most every year. I've done a lot of failed pilots.
A boy becomes an adult three years before his parents think he does, and about two years after he thinks he does.
Losing a parent over eight years is a very dark journey. I spent the first four years feeling bad and angry and sorry for myself.
I don't feel like a 40-year-old. I feel more like four 10-year-olds, each pulling in a different direction.
I haven't written a young-adult book in years. I'm also doing six 'Goosebumps' books a year now.
