Maybe I'd like to be a little more than friends with Ryan Gosling, but I'd just like to hang out occasionally.

Cheating is bad. That's a big mistake I've made, and I've really hurt people. I've never lied about it, though. I've always been honest.

In my head, I wanted to be Madonna, but the music I was writing on paper was not what you'd choreograph dancers in costumes to. It was more coffee-house stuff.

I think one day I'd like to win an Oscar.

I'd like to go the Cher route and act and sing and write and have a TV show and do it all.

I'm a really visual artist, and I love writing treatments for music videos, photo shoots, fashion, and all the visual parts that go along with making an album.

Officers in command of colored troops are in constant habit of pressing all able-bodied slaves into the military service of the U.S.

Why is it suddenly uncool to spell? That's all I want to know.

Playing Christ, I began to feel shut away from the world. A newspaper became one of my biggest luxuries. I noticed that some of my close friends began treating me with reverence.

If I knew where creativity came from, I'd probably be a lot less stressed about coming up with new stories.

Our Parliamentary system has simply failed to meet the challenge of judicial activism.
