I don't always win at this, but I know I do better when I meditate.

By the second tour I had rice cakes and hummus with me, and I was jumping rope in my room.

I love drag queens... they perform me better than I ever could myself.

Love the woods and nature and the water and animals. Stop the BS with poaching and hunting. Preservation is critical.

I think I was perceived in one fashion. A video is based on a song. I think you can get glimpses of people's presence within that. There's some people you enjoy watching more than others.

So when I'm working out I do things extreme.

And I'm also looking for a comeback record and it has to touch a lot of people.

Did people think I sounded black? Totally, but that was a marketing tool as well, but also this is how I grew up and these are my influences.

I've had enough boyfriends and enough issues. I'd seen enough train wrecks.

Emotional pain makes me want to isolate. Or hit back. It's very tough to rise above my natural inclinations. I'm always working on this.

Forget things and have a quiet moment.

Sounding frank, honest, and sincere is, of course, a rhetorical strategy in itself, known from ancient literature as parrhesia. It’s often employed by liars.

Luckily, I don't think that I'm too famous. I can still live my life pretty comfortably. Fame has never really ever appealed to me. I think it's easy to see that it's not a great thing to have.

Play is a uniquely adaptive act, not subordinate to some other adaptive act, but with a special function of its own in human experience.

If you are at a hard place in life, hesitant to ask for help, God invites you to ask Him so He can meet your need.

A party should be founded not merely on numbers, but on moral principles, without which it can neither accomplish useful work nor inspire confidence.

As far as my house, I have a ton of video games and three or four old consoles.

The last few years have been pretty hectic.

I would say that, apart from being a writer, I have also always been very conscious of the idea of a 'world elsewhere'.

We have made remarkable progress in the last hundred years, but if we want to continue, our future is in space.

Christ bears with the saints' imperfections; well may the saints one with another.
