I do believe in standing up for what you believe in and your family and your friends.

It's not that I'm Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes now, but I've got my priorities in order.

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.

I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that.

They believed you can't mix rock, country, and rap, and that crossover is dead. I always knew it would work. And it will always work as long as you're really into it and like what you're doing.

I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics.

If I was president of the good old U.S.A., I'd turn the churches into strip clubs and watch the whole world pray.

I could care less about what people think. I'm a Devil Without A Cause.

You get what you put in and people get what they deserve.

I think what I've learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.

I was the little white kid who rocked the turntables

With all the god-awful suffering in this war, I suppose somebody ought to be enjoying it.

but perhaps we should love what we cannot understand

I always try to keep in mind the I do all that training for a reason, which is to compete to the best of my ability.

More and more, even with a measure of success, I'm not sure what it is people are seeing when they see a movie I've made.

Yeah, but going by that cold tone of voice, she had to wonder whether the best-laid plans of mice and vampires, blah, blah, blah...

'Lizzie McGuire' was my big thing when I was younger. I did buy some pencils and back-to-school stuff of hers because she was on it. I loved her.

If jealousy disappears and love still remains, then you have something solid in your life which is worth having.

With each film, i need an artistic challenge so I don't get bored! I like to tackle challenges.

I have dedicated a significant portion of my time and artistry to making art that addresses various forms of oppression, including white supremacy, misogyny, and biphobia.

Considering how foolishly people act and how pleasantly they prattle, perhaps it would be better for the world if they talked more and did less.
