I have big dreams. I want to keep songwriting. Direct films. Be a parent.

Knowing now what goes into making a successful artist, it's disheartening.

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart.

No matter what you have done to this moment, you get 24 brand-new hours to spend every single day.

President Bush has committed billions to the fight against AIDS, thus making retroviral drugs available to millions of HIV-positive Africans.

The real threat, as seen by the ACLU, is that religious behavior might give secular behavior a bad name, and that is, surely, unconstitutional.
