Acting becomes my real job, writing becomes my second job, and then when I turn 50, I think I'm going to open up an interior decorating company.

I'm young. You can't just sit there and be satisfied.

I don't really start writing until later in the night. I'm a night owl.

I have a thing - I call it magic - but I feel like I can write stuff down in the middle of the night and wake up and it happens. I write what I want in my journal.

I'm going to become a real professional actress.

I'm not looking to be an artist to make money. I'm looking to be an artist.

I'm more than a songwriter. I'm a creative person. Some people you just always see. I won't allow you to see me unless it makes sense. There's a reason to see me.

I try to reach for the stars because if you say you want something small and it happens, you don't believe it. So I try to say something wild and crazy.

I just like to stay creative. Anything that can keep my mind going.

I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.

I always tell people I write songs, but I'm a writer. It's a difference. I can write songs to music, but I can write a story. I can see ideas spark in me.

Unhappy people needs your smile more than Happy people do

We all need to look into the dark side of our nature - that's where the energy is, the passion. People are afraid of that because it holds pieces of us we're busy denying.

After the Beatles and Dylan, there's this assumption that you are a singer-songwriter, or that if someone else is writing your rhymes, you're a fake rapper.

You can never tell about a person by guessing...that's why language was invented. Otherwise, we'd all be like dogs, sniffing each other to find out where we stood.

To play well you have to have good balance in your life. Tiger has found that. If you play golf long enough you'll learn that life is more than golf.

But somehow in identifying myself as the healer, there was still a seed of both self-righteousness and defense from a kind of emptiness.

Big sisters and brothers... I am telling you, it never changes.

Magic is the deliberate manipulation of coincidence.

We are prisoners of our own metaphors, metaphorically speaking.

If you don't play to win don't play at all.
