The people that really were important, that mattered, had a great foundation. I had no training. I had to learn while doing, and it was really difficult.
There's something so great about being with your nephew and, when you're tired, just handing him off back to your sister.
I feel like I have just been really, really lucky to meet some of the most successful and great actors alive today.
I think that what trips up a lot of great musicians is that they become involved with too many things that aren't where their strengths lie.
I really want to try to become a great actress when I get older and continue to do what I'm doing now.
I've always wanted to go to Australia. I hear it's a great place. I mean, kangaroos are pretty awesome. That's an up factor.
Everybody thinks that they're going to time the market, they're going to sharpshoot the market, and buy right at the bottom. The truth of the matter is that nobody is good at it.
Most people, 95% of people, are good people. It's the 5% who get seduced by power.
My New Year's resolution is to stick to a good workout plan that will keep me healthy and happy.
I love pop music. It's not easy to write a good pop song.
That's one of the good things about music. You get to do it live, where you can touch the people and interact with them.
The corporations are shoving just the worst music down everybody's throats, and I think the result of that is that nobody has any taste. They have no bar as to what is good.
In this culture, where entertainers and athletes wield such power, it seems only right to me that they try to make their influence a good one.
Good music is good music, regardless of where it comes from. I think that's a really important thing to carry with you.
A lot of vets like 'Good Morning Vietnam' - I get great letters from guys.
Strange to see how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody.
My smartest move was joining Google. It wasn't obvious at the time that it would be a good decision. A lot of people, many of my friends, advised me against it.
Then my extended family, there are preachers and evangelists, former priests. So I have quite a bit of history with Church, religion and spirituality.
The place was built on the premise that people want to gamble, and they may as well do it here. They look after their clientele, and, hell, they treat me like I'm one of their family.
Losing my parents really set me adrift in more ways than one. It's not just losing them. It's losing the possibility of family.
I wasn't necessarily the brightest in my family. I think my older sister was probably more clever, but I worked very hard.
