The same kind of boys always like me. The ones that easily get their feelings hurt. Ugh! Then they try to get my attention by doing something dumb but I’m too busy to notice

Who on Barbie D? Who on Barbie D?

If I had to describe (the past ten years) I would say ‘blessed’. Blessed and highly favoured, because the things that have happened to me have been once in a lifetime.

Do you know how many women get systematically blackballed out of their positions in an office building and can’t fight back?

There are things that I do that feminists don’t like, and there are things that I do that they do like. I don’t label myself.

No matter how tired I am, whenever I see you guys, my energy goes to a billion.

A designer told me that my wife was a master of light and I was a master of time.

It’s VH1, it’s everywhere, and you know music is just the world right now. People love music.

I don’t have a recollection of mostly anybody I’ve hung out with.

I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art, but just as a person.

It’s a lot harder to do an ensemble because your energy is going in so many different places, and you have to cover everybody. You have to sort of split your attention.

Working with someone like Dustin Hoffman is a huge honor and, after you kind of get through that, you’re frightened about working with a screen legend, and I was just in awe.

I could be walking down the street one minute and get a handshake and then get spat on the next. I’m never sure whether to wear gloves or a helmet.

I don’t take myself that seriously. I’ve just had a good, big life. It’s a big one.

Really, life is life. You do a lot of different things and you have great adventures but there’s not a lot to talk about unless you’re in the middle of an adventure at the time. Circumspection is not one of my better, favorite conditions, really.

To say I’m an overrated troll, when you have never even seen me guard a bridge, is patently unfair.

Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they’ve got nothing to lose.

I am slightly disheveled, I think. I’m really pleased that I am, because otherwise I could be in a really, really dull and boring place now, as a musician at least.

If women ran the world we wouldn’t have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days.

The best thing as an actor, the best tool you have is your imagination. That you kind of take things that have happened, and then go and expand on them. However small it is, you use your imagination to create what that reality is. There’s something kind of fun when you’re not old enough to do anything, driving a car, getting into a bar, drinking, going to a party you don’t belong to, something when you’re young in that innocent way.

I prayed to God for peace and love, I’m looking at you as a blessing. You told me life been looking up so take that past shit as a lesson.
