Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.
You don't enter a dance studio and say "I can't do that." If you do, then why are you in the studio in the first place?
Jackson, are you trying to challenge my authority as Alpha?" Taz growled out. Ha! Therein the bullsh*t begins.
They are stupid, they are beasts, they are meat, they are death. I am talking simply but without any affectation.
The fear of death is the fear of the end of an illusion; so long as the illusion persists so long will the fear remain.
The time I spent thinking about how I was better than somebody else or worrying about somebody else's attitude was time I could put to better use.
Losing my father at a tender age was extremely important in being able to accept what happened to me later when I became a quadriplegic.
When we bemoan the lost golden age of music, it's worth remembering that mainstream radio listeners of the '60s and '70s, particularly in Canada, missed out on an outpouring of brilliant R&B music.
I have now reached the happy age of 23. No, happy is not quite the right word. At this particular moment I am certainly not happy.
I was living on the wrong side of the tracks in Evanston, Illinois, in a home for boys. We had these Jackson 5 records. I really related to their voices - they were about my age, but they were doing it.
I sign every autograph I can for kids because I remember myself at that age. I think it's ridiculous that some guys won't sign for a kid.
It begins and ends with money. It's absurd in this day and age when we need so much money for education, health, for people, that a $100 million dollars can be spent on a film. It's obscene.
In my old age, my mind gets more open, and I listen to so many different types of music and I guess that all reflects in my work.
I'm still grappling with all the things most people resolve by the time they're 35. Maybe that's why I make music that is relevant to young people. I'm emotionally stuck at the age of 13.
I knew from a young age that I could sing and it was impressed upon me that if I got a classically trained education in voice, it would serve as a foundation for whatever I chose to do.
I didn't imagine getting to 50, let alone still be playing music. When I was 18, I thought it'd all be over by the time I was 21.
I have tried in my role of being one of the first women at Google, let alone the first woman to have a baby, to really try to set the tone that this is a great place to work for diversity reasons.
Music is amazing. There's some metaphysical comfort where it allows you to be isolated and alone while telling you that you are not alone... truly, the only cure for sadness is to share it with someone else.
The possibilities are endless now, with performing, getting your music online, getting your own website and getting your music out there. I think that's very cool and amazing.
I love snow; I love building snowman. The only thing I don't like is the cold - so if we could have a hot Christmas, that would be amazing.
'Jersey Boys' has been the most amazing experience ever and has exposed an entire new audience to the music. It's great to see people of all ages coming to the show.
