I was teased relentlessly when I was a kid about my voice, so it's kind of nice that now I'm making a lot of money with it.
Decline III, I funded myself, from the studio money. That, and I sold a lot of drugs. Kidding. Don't print that.
I would like to end world hunger and create world peace, stop corruption, stop drugs getting to kids.
My next project is to get back to that. Actually, to learn how to write poetry. I'm not kidding.
A relationship is hard in and of itself. And having kids is really hard work, but I think it's really meaningful, as is a relationship. But they all take work.
I was always into science fiction as a kid. I loved science and tinkering with things.
I just am a huge cheerleader for getting kids interested in science and technology.
Homeless people really upset me when I was little. A lot of kids have this reaction, but I would get really worried or sad or concerned or cry.
I think that kids aren't even exploring the option of sports anymore, and they don't even know what they could do.
Our country's growing obsession with organized sports isn't just hurting our children, but also our communities. As play is siphoned off to gyms and fields, fewer kids are playing in our streets, parks, and playgrounds.
I hate the cliche of 'just have fun,' but what I've seen in today's sports, especially with parents, is they put so much pressure on the kids.
Sports and entertainment are the only places where inner-city kids see themselves being able to succeed. Their intellectual development is something they don't relate to.
I know many people who are actually queasy about the idea that their kids may harbour sporting ambitions.
The success of 'The Simpsons' really opened doors. It showed that if you were working in animation you didn't necessarily have to be working in kids' television.
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.
What the Snowden scenario proved is that the weakest link is not the technology, the weakest link is the individual; we shouldn't kid ourselves.
I love being a mother; I hate being a housewife - the cooking, the laundry - because it takes away time I could be with my kids.
I demand my kids be respectful, responsible and grateful. And they have to love the Lord with all their hearts.
I love the sounds of Latin jazz, R&B, hip-hop, alternative, all that stuff. I'm a radio kid.
I've been writing stories since I was a kid. I love writing stories.
When you have a kid and people go, 'What a beautiful child,' it's the same kind of reaction when you play a song that people recognize and love.
