Black eyeliner says 'You've been through stuff, you know things'.

I would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills.

I like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like

Any song I don't feel good about, I shelve. Anything you ever hear me sing, it's because I want to.

Surround yourself with positive people and situations, and avoid negativity.

You cannot get one nickel for commercial flying.

You can't live A POSITIVE LIFE thinking negative thoughts. Dwell on the POSITIVE.
