“A lot of people I make music with are really talented and it doesn’t stop at one instrument.”

I read everything I could find: books and online. Sometimes bigger revelations came to me through finer details or something that you wouldn’t pick up just by surface reading.

I used to paint a lot of oil and now I paint more mixed-media stuff.

I love people who really turn their lives around. I think it’s such a wonderful human trait.

I wasn’t interested in fame or fortune. I was interested in being an actor and being creative. I was very adamant about that.

I love love stories, no matter how dark.

In real life, I’m pretty much an eternal optimist.

Playing different characters in different films helps keep you excited about what you do. It always seems like a whole new adventure.

I’ve been rapping since I was 18 years old, with a crew called Blades.

I think it’s really important to live in the moment.

Because I don’t have a child and as much as you can sort of imagine it it’s always nice to hear from all different walks of life what motherhood is like and what that feels like. And particularly young mothers.

I’m a bit hyperactive as an actor, I like to keep moving.

I’m pretty unusual for an actress in Hollywood because I am totally unselfconscious about my body.

A female’s career as an actor is very different from a male’s career as an actor. That’s just the way it is. So, I’m fascinated by really strong male careers that have inspired me, and also really incredible male roles.

I’m a vegetarian and very much active in regards to how I feel about animal rights and protecting animals and giving animals a voice.

I had an amazing childhood.

I don’t see the point in working just to be working.

I was already doing really well in terms of my goals, to keep my fans coming back.

She may be a wispy, thin little thing, but when you see that girl, you know you’re really in the presence of something. In that league there’s only ever been Garbo, and the other Hepburn, and maybe Bergman. It’s a rare quality, but boy, do you know when you’ve found it.

Let me strip away your masks,so that you may know who you really are.And when this truth sets you free,then shall you be free to genuinely love.

When I first started doing stand-up, I would be so nervous that I would just binge drink really heavily right before my sets, and as you can imagine, that had its drawbacks. But now I’m a professional, so I pace myself throughout the day.

What I’ve really learned over time is that optimism is a very, very important part of leadership.

I was probably about fourteen I think, and probably like every boy who’s fourteen that writes a song, it was about a girl. It was about a girl who I really liked, but she didn’t like me as much as I liked her. I think most guys go through that.

I think that she looks great. I think that as Jennifer Aniston gets older, she looks better and better, and I really like that.
