“Every time I release an album my old record company releases another one.”

Sometimes you need to put your own characteristics into the actor, and you take different things from the character that you admire – sometimes you can’t see the boundaries anymore.

I like Destiny’s Child.

We chat about clothes and if we’re going on the red carpet we definitely talk about what we are going to wear.

I’ve never had a stylist, and I’ve always chosen my own clothes.

I think when you’re younger, you need to socialize and be with people your own age.

I think when I was quite younger, I was always quite a tomboy.

To think that Donald Trump could have his finger over the big red button is absolutely terrifying.

There is no necessary connection between the desire to lead and the ability to lead, and even less the ability to lead somewhere that will be to the advantage of the led.

I think everyone sometimes feels intimidated by themselves when they see themselves on the screen.

So many girls have become famous for literally nothing – other than falling out of clubs in shocking clothing or going out with a different person every week.

I think sometimes when you begin to examine things – like yourself – suddenly you can just freak out and not want to go any further.

From day one when you’re singing, you’re dreaming about making that first album and making your break into whatever music you want to break into.

I picked and co-wrote the songs that if I was a guy who would be spending my hard-earned money buying an album I would want to hear.

You’re always frustrated, you don’t have the chance to do a song on the album, like the Beatles did with Ringo and George, or like Led Zeppelin, where everybody was given a chance to contribute. There never is a chance with the Stones.

I tried acting and all of the arts, I even put out a record album, but what I like the most is business.

I’m narrating the television series Biography. I’m still involved in my music – I have a new album out. I have an animated project in development. I’m writing a lot of things and you never know if one of them is going to become a six or seven year project.

I’d done three solo albums in a row, and that’s quite narcissistic.

I never liked making albums.

Someone told me once that Lucinda Williams takes six years between albums, and that’s what stuck to me; it’s like, you really are a factory. You don’t do things to make them, on your own time.
