Music comes from a place we don’t know.

Sometimes we have criticism that is very constructive.

I do worry – a lot.

We rely more on enthusiasm than actual skill. Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically and people will like it more.

I always dream about other musicians. And they’re never interested in hanging out with us. It’s like being at school and the bigger boys don’t want to play with you!

You gotta wear the right trousers if you’re gonna be a rock star.

You can’t fake listening. It shows.

The ladies of comedy now are comfortable dressing up. It’s not forbidden anymore.

Americans have always had sex symbols. It’a time-honored tradition and I’m flattered to have been one. But it’s hard to have a long, fruitful career once you’ve been stereotyped that way. That’s why I’m proud to say I’ve endured.

I still want Oprah to play my best friend. I want to spend time with Oprah.

I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don’t spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.

I was singing a lot of waltzes. And I was with Jerry Kennedy, my producer, and he was playing me some songs, and he said, hey, I want to play you this song that I’m going to get Jackie Ward to record.

People think clowns – I wasn’t a clown. I would run parties. I basically ran around for two hours and ate massive piles of Haribo.

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

So when you get a chance to look at things and chill and relax, it makes you want it more, and that’s why I’m so happy to be back!

Healthcare is like a pair of gym shorts. Even if it covers nearly all it is supposed to, you’re still left with some problematic gaps and terrible things can happen.

A recent study announced that 52 per cent of all teens who sign virginity pledges recant them within twelve months. If I’m on my game.

Hate a liar more than I hate thief. A thief is only after my salary a liar is after my reality.

Friends don’t lie.

[on Edward Cullen in ‘Twilight’] He’s a poet, and very deep and profound. He’s just extraordinarily troubled.
