Things happen for a reason, and in their own time.

You can't get it all right all the time, but you can try your best. If you've done that, all that's left is to accept your shortcomings and have the courage to try to overcome them.

Being a role model is about being true to myself.

When you sit back and you just do what you love, things happen

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small, and the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all.

I find that, maybe because I'm also a singer, I hear music in characters all the time, even if they don't sing. I hear what affects me in my heart.

Nerves are good. They keep you alive.

I know I'm known for singing some of those high notes but that's really not what giving someone goose bumps is all about. It's about really trying to find what makes you unique...

There was nothing but power, and those who hadn't yet found the tap. (Greachin)

You are what you wear. I wear something different everyday.

I think people need to know what they're eating. That's why I support "country of origin" labeling. That's why I support labeling of GMO's.

Civil disobedience is the only nonviolent escape from the soul-destroying heat of violence.

Americans want to be protected, but not at the cost of vitiating the values that make us Americans.

I'm proud of the fact that Downton Abbey was born in a recession, at a time when ITV had dropped a lot of drama programmes. And I know that because I was out of work at the time!
