Certain people do need to stay in character the whole time, and that's just what they require as a person.

Rugrats was my favorite cartoon growing up as a kid.

I'm weirdly flexible, so when I dance, I dance like a 17-year-old girl.

I love dancing, actually. My mother taught children's dance, ballet, tap, jazz...I'm very flexible.

I kind of strive for being able to go home and having a totally separate life.

I would like to think there is a reason and a choice behind everything.

Every group has its idiosyncrasies, but at a certain point we all are human.

He hath no leisure who useth it not.

How lucky I was to have played for the Pittsburgh Steelers fans. A proud, hard-working people, who loves their football, and their players.

I see all the red carpet paparazzi stuff and I'm like, 'Really? Do I have to?!' I like to work and I know that's part of the job. But you kind of take it in stride.

Do not worry about your career. Concern yourself with your vocation, and that is to be lovers of Jesus.
