I am a very lucky guy. I can testify before Congress. I can raise funds. I can raise awareness.
I was never a liberal. I was radical. I was cynical. I was negative. But, I was never a liberal. I always saw that as too lukewarm for me.
If I were a black liberal, I would be hailed, I guess. But I'm not. I mean, I think for myself. I want to make my own decisions.
I welcome challenges. I triumph on them, it helps me grow. Without the challenges that I have faced, I may not be where I am at all.
I am just your everyday, average girl. I live by the beach. I wear flip flops. I don't wear make-up. I go to the gym.
I grew up in Texas, eating meat five times a day, and I liked meat. But I began being a vegetarian when I was 19 because I found that I felt better.
I'm tired of defending my character. I am what I am. What you see is what you get.
I never thought I would start working again, and I did, but it was really hard, and I don't know that I would advise anyone to step back the way I did.
I like Velvet Underground, but I was never really hardcore into them. I like them, and I like Nico, but I won't front like I'm super knowledgeable. I just never got around to it.
So I was at the Actor's Studio, thinking about this, and I happened to glance over to the other side of the stage and I saw the ugliest chair I have ever seen. And I thought, 'Well, I could kill that chair!'
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you
I hope I make people feel better. I hope I take people out of their situations a little bit and make them happier. That's really why I do what I do.
In the beginning, I tried to be a more cosmopolitan writer, but I realized that I was a country boy, and I had to deal with things I knew about and where I came from.
I am happy for the first in my life, I can report that I am standing on an incline instead of an edge.
Because, I figured that, because I was a successful man, I was wealthy, I was, you know, seemingly intelligent - even that I am not intelligent enough to ask for help.
I am a street performer as much as I am a stage performer. Yes, I have a television show, but every trick, every 'Mindfreak' you see, I can do live.
I wouldn't tell Jill how I felt. I behaved in such a way that was opposite to how I felt. I must have seemed strong to her. I didn't want to bring her down.
I live in a universe in which blame doesn't exist. I don't believe in being at fault; I believe in taking responsibility for your actions. If I do something wrong, I take responsibility for it.
I left my country because I was forced to, and I do not think that I am going to lose my language because I live in England.
I feel like the longer I hold out - I feel like as soon I move to L.A., I just become one of a million.
I moved to New York from California when I was 11, so initially I was seen as the California person for a while. I didn't feel like I was popular, but I did feel confident.
