I used to be better looking than this.

Being good is about being an all-round contributor in the great world of music.

I realized that sometimes I move so fast I don’t even see where I’ve been with any great perspective. I look into the now and slightly into the future, but rarely into the past. Searching and querying and mining the great terrain of life and relationships is where I’m at right now.

How can you consider flower power outdated? The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That’s all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated?

I like the idea of being alone. I like the idea of often being alone in all aspects of my life. I like to feel lonely. I like to need things.

I still like to get carried away – but passively.

I am looking for a man I couldn’t beat in a cage fight.

[on filming Red Eye] I loved the action sequences, running though an airport in heels and all that stuff. That was really fun.

There’s probably not a crew chief out there who hasn’t tried something that seemed like a good idea.

Twelve was a real turning point for me as I moved to a mixed school, and then I became cool and discovered hair gel.

It’s when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn’t work for me.

I sort of identify with him (Cedric) in a couple of ways. Generally, I am quite pleasant. I think he is too, and I think that is one of the basic similarities. Let’s see, I’ve got blond hair, I am relatively sporty. But, I think he is a better person than me.

British politics, when done well, can be very fun. John Oliver

I don’t feel crazy any more! It was always like – it’s going to be one of two things, either i’m crazy or everybody else is.

[on marriage] I’m a fan of marriage, but more for other people right now than for myself.

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

I have to tell you, and I don’t mean this as sour grapes or anything, but it is hard to play for fans who see you all the time, makes it much harder.

Sick of all these people talking, sick of all this noise. Tired of all these cameras flashing, sick of being poised.

I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.

If there are 10 people there, two or three are going to recognize you.
