“The media – they want to rush everything. They want to give their seedy opinions without knowing all the facts.”

It’s a shame to call somebody a ‘diva’ simply because they work harder than everybody else.

In the end, the truth finds a way to surface even if you don’t want it to.

I have the stardom glow.

For me, fashion is an expression of who I am right in that moment – so what you’re seeing is what I’m influenced by now.

No matter where I go I know where I came from.

There are certain people that are marked for death. I have my little list of those that treated me unfairly.

This is the man my mother lived for. My career means something now because I’ve worked with Robert Redford.

Sometimes you have to explore the darkness to get to the light and get back to who you are.

The minute I feel nervousness or anxiety or fear, I go, ‘No, no, that’s not a thought that I need to have right now. Everything’s great, everything’s good, you’re going to be fine’.

Things don’t always turn out exactly the way you want them to be and you feel disappointed. You are not always going to be the winner. That’s when you have to stop and figure out why things happened the way they did and what you can do to change them.

You can’t let the fear of what people might say or think stop you from doing what you want to do or else we would never do anything.

I don’t really check out other people’s butts.

Women should never go without earrings. Passing on them is an opportunity missed.

I think the best partner you can have is someone who makes you want to be the best form of yourself.

Love to me is someone telling me, ‘I want to be with you for the rest of my life, and if you needed me to I’d jump out of a plane for you.’

You can’t take life for granted.

The press is like a woman: sublime when it lies, it will not let go until it has forced you to believe it. The public, like a foolish husband, always succumbs.

The news media in general are liberal. If you want to be a reporter, you are going to see poverty and misery, and you have to be involved in the human condition.

We must rediscover our faith in the future and join with one another to ensure that nonviolence is the prevalent choice for government, law enforcement, the non-profit sector, business, education, media, entertainment, arts, and for the global citizenry.

Another murder I committed made the front page.

Kids should speak to each other. They’re horrid to each other online, they bully each other – they should shut up and stop it. The problem with social media is there is too much freedom. It’s too much, too young.

The medium is secondary to the stories.

I think the media is a real demon.

I think initially, the record industry struggled a lot with digital media because there are a lot of aspects to it that can potentially destroy our industry.
