In most cases, my visits to the West are for promotion of human values and religious harmony.
I was told 'no' a lot when I first got to Nashville, but I'm pretty stubborn! That's one of my faults and qualities.
Elvis was, at least the times I was around him, Elvis was a practical joker. He was always, had some little mischievous something going.
I'm really excited about the revolution that is young people actually playing young people on Broadway.
I was always singing around my house, and my parents thought they should put me into voice lessons just for fun.
'The Next Ten Minutes' from 'The Last Five Years' is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Sometimes a song indicates that it wants to be about a certain thing. And then if you write it, you find that it is about something that you've done.
Oh, this absolute loneliness and the game - loving to play the game, loving to go and tell stories to men that certainly weren't true, just for the sport of it, just to see how they would react.
I always date younger men. For some reason that's just the way it's gone, because younger guys have always asked me out and I accept.
I have this theory that alpha males are actually not alpha males. They're actually very scared - particularly scared of competition from a lot of men.

I did Shakespeare in college, and the nerves I got doing Shakespeare are the same nerves I get doing 'Mad Men.' I want to get the dialogue just spot-on.
I think that the day you've figured out the differences between women and men is the day that you're no longer attracted to women. It's the difference that is so fantastic and frustrating and angering, and really sexy.
Black people can be the most conservative, the most discriminating. Especially among ourselves. It wasn't white people who said all black men have to wear baggy jeans.
For the first few years of my life my mom used to cut my hair so there were a lot of bowl-cut hair styles.
The whole essence of good drawing - and of good thinking, perhaps - is to work a subject down to the simplest form possible and still have it believable for what it is meant to be.
I don't necessarily love all the collaborations that I've done; the more I work with other people, the more I realize that I want to work with myself.
I love Top 40 pop, don't get me wrong; I just don't think that there's anyone in Top 40 pop that's 'real.'
Yazoo was Vince's sound ultimately. At the time Vince and I got together he had only recorded one album with Depeche and Depeche were to go on to greater things.
