The older I get, the more I appreciate what came before.

I feel more comfortable when I'm somebody else, I think. When I'm taking a picture as myself, the whole idea of taking a headshot, to me, feels very false.

I really love being a character actor. I have to say I wish it were a little easier. There are still a lot of things that I don't get, like I do wish I had more of my own.

My family is still very Southern Baptist, and they're religious.

People will go into an audition and a casting situation, and they'll see someone across the room that's perhaps slightly famous, or famous, and they think, 'Oh God, I'm not gonna get the part.

I had been wanting to do a musical for a really long time. I wanted people in New York to know that I can sing.

My family is not at all involved in television, or film, or theatre, or any of it, really.

I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church, where my father was a minister at music, so I sang in the church all the time.

I'm really tall - almost six feet - and my features tend to be extreme, especially on TV.

I started performing in high school. There was a pretty great drama department at my school, and that's when I started doing plays and musicals.

I heard death had a name, but I forgot what it was.

Life is short, precious, and should not be wasted. Everyone has a chance at it. We’re equals after all. There are no pawns, no kings, and no queens. We’re all humans and we all have the same value.

There is every board minded man behind the success of woman. But when that man is in legal relation then a woman can triumph among men

The mist hung in the air like a prancing unicorn.

Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.

I really think there's an evolution to the practice and the individual no matter what brings you in, whether it's wine and yoga or chocolate and yoga or surfing and yoga.

If god wanted people to believe in him, why'd he invent logic then?

Whatever professes to benefit by pleasing must please at once. The pleasures of the mind imply something sudden and unexpected; that which elevates must always surprise.
