My parents know I was outgoing as a child, and whenever people came over I'd automatically do impressions of them as soon as they left; it was my mom's favorite thing.

My dad's probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that's not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat.

When I was young I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything I used to think 'How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?'

Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.

The first kiss I had was the most disgusting thing in my life. The girl injected about a pound of saliva into my mouth, and when I walked away I had to spit it all out.

You can make history, or you will be vilified by it.

Everywhere I go, somebody is staring at me. I don't know if people are staring because they recognize me or because they think I'm a weirdo.

Raising awareness on the most pressing environmental issues of our time is more important than ever.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

I'm just starting to scratch the surface of what really makes me happy and it's taken me a while to admit that acting like a little child and being a jerk and a punk is fun.

The world of your dreams requires you to wake up and make it real

I don't have to be safe to feel safe, I always feel safe at my core.

Are the gods not just?' 'Oh no, child. What would become us us if they were?

I don't mind saying in advance that in my opinion jealousy is normal and healthy. Jealousy arises out of the fact that children love. If they have no capacity to love, then they don't show jealousy.

All men are equally proud. The only difference is that not all take the same methods of showing it.

'The End of America' details the 10 steps that would-be dictators always take in seeking to close an open society; it argued that the Bush administration had been advancing each one.

The jewel in the baby product crown is the stroller. And if in America you are what you drive, then in Parentland, you are what you push.

No matter how much talent you have in your mind and spirit, if your body is not able to function, you are not able to fulfill your destiny.

No stile of writing is so delightful as that which is all pith, which never omits a necessary word, nor uses an unnecessary one.

I henceforth tread the world, chaste, temperate, an early riser, a steady grower.
