I'm such an exposed and aware person.

I think playing coy is silly. Speak your mind. If a man gets turned off, he's the wrong man.

I have an older brother who is 21 and attends UC Berkley.

Confidence, not cockiness. Knowing who you are is confidence. Cockiness is knowing who you are and pushing it down everyone's throat.

I think that you have to restrain yourself from googling your name and have other hobbies and desires and wants. You do a million things. You go to school, you write, you read, you blog.

Always have a backup plan.

My goal in life is to enjoy what I do, and never to look back and say I wish I would have done that.

I don't believe in perfection. I don't think it exists.

I was really good at saying no. I decided I was just going to say yes to any opportunity that came, no matter how crazy. And it changed my life.

Christian Louboutins are uncomfortable, but I screamed the first time I put on a Pointe Shoe.

I'm still a 'Star Trek' fan. You never stop being one.

It is a rare person who can cut himself off from mediate and immediate relations with others for long spaces of time without undergoing a deterioration in personality.

Writers aren't exactly people, they're a bunch of people trying to be one person.

Who goeth a borrowing Goeth a sorrowing.

Any device whatever by which one frees himself from fear is a natural good.

The music business is a weird business. Sometimes licensing doesn't happen because some business component that you never knew about stops it.

God doesn't tell us to care for the less fortunate, He demands it.

I'm honored to be in a position to have young girls or performers look up to me.

Your mind's always juggling, isn't it?-mirrors, torches, plates.
