There has always been a tremendous obsession with television and movie stars, and with the people involved with the business.

My greatest fear is getting bored.

[On Lou Adler] Lou really had a production deal called a label, whereas we had a real label. We had a great many artists, whereas he had very few. Lou also produced most of the stuff that came out on Ode. We were not producers.

This thing is really silly. I don’t want to hurt you anymore, and I’m too powerful for you to hurt. I forgive you for all the times you’ve f*cked me in the past and for all the times you’re going to f*ck me in the future.

I came in early every day for six months till I intercepted the letter from UCLA saying they’d never heard of me. I replaced it with a letter that said I’d graduated.

This Velvet Mafia thing is just another homophobic, nasty kind of thing that jealous queens make up.

We don’t want to be influenced, just informed.

You know my heart couldn’t take it.

If you were to really look at it, the boys are still getting more money for a lot of garbage, while the ladies are hustling and doing amazing work for less.

I’ll be a nun, raise my daughter, and make albums.

Honestly, the main takeaway from these two weeks is that, incredibly, we may be on the brink of electing such a damaged, sociopathic narcissist, that the simple presidential duty of comforting the families of fallen soldiers may actually be beyond his capabilities – and I genuinely did not think that was a part of the job that someone could be bad at.

I was rapping as a hobby. It was something I did for my friends and just played around on ideas and stuff like that.

There’s so much of this beautiful planet that is still actually spectacular and stimulating. There are so many amazing people that you meet along the way. By using my career as the wind in the sails of my adventures, I could see so many things and so many people that I might have missed had my career gone a different direction.

I was bored one day so my Dad took me to this acting school. I liked it more than having fun – I liked it for a job.

Cotton Owens was leading and daddy was second. They came up on me and I moved over to let them pass. Cotton went on, but daddy bumped me in the rear and my car went right into the wall.

A kiss with anyone, on or off camera, can be intimidating. Ive been kissing for nearly two decades now, and I’m always convinced I’m not doing it right.

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

That’s when I realized that as long as you don’t broadcast your beefs, you can get away cold with murder. It’s even better if you don’t allow the beef to take place. If someone disrespects you, you can know in your heard that you’re going to get him, but you don’t have to show him there’s a beef. You can just look at it like, Okay, this nigga must not know. And then you fall back and you put it down.

Keep in mind that most men like to pursue and win you. Don’t rob him of the enjoyment of doing that. When it comes to dressing to go out, it’s been my experience that guys prefer to think that the object of their affection is someone exclusive who isn’t available to everyone in the room. You’re clever enough to strike the right balance between hot and classy, aren’t you? Turn up the heat, but don’t invite the whole fire department.

I haven’t had an interview in two years where I wasn’t asked about Bond!

In the past, I had workaholic issues.
