Week-by-week you grow with your character and it's an interesting challenge.

There are two conflicting philosophies that I love: "Everything happens for a reason," as well as "you can change everything that you have control over."

I'm lucky; my parents have never said to me, "You're a kid, so you just don't know." They say, "How can we discuss the world and learn from these events together?"

I feel like there's no need to put on a heel that's too high. There's nothing cute about wobbling. There's nothing cute about not wanting to dance or walk somewhere because you're in pain.

I like to be in control of my body. Also, I love getting into character and exploring a different aspect of who I am.

I try to preface everything with "this isn't new." Because most social movements have happened before and I get that. Nothing I'm doing is new.

I really love hip hop. My cousin Nas came out with an album Life Is Good, and I love that album, but I also love Maroon 5.

Love isn't love until someone makes a mistake.

You know, without a doubt, that surrender is the only option to fulfill whatever you are attempting.

I came home and found that my son was taking drugs - my very best ones too!

For every hour of pain I have had a day of pleasure. For every moment of worry, an hour of content.

Greed probably figures in my intellectual life as well, as I attempt to absorb a massive amount of information with consequent mental indigestion.

Generalizations, like brooms, ought not to stand in a corner forever; they ought to sweep as a matter of course.

In America, we believe that competition strengthens us.

To be honest, I'm not much of a drinker. It makes me sick, and I hate that.

We prefer a meaningless collective guilt to a meaningful individual responsibility

Now I am obsessed with collecting Platypus paraphernalia.
