Sometimes we don't want the bad guy to get caught because otherwise the story is over. You want to at least see it through to the end.

Somewhere along the line we stopped believing we could do anything. And if we don't have our dreams, we have nothing.

I don't have a fear of flying; I have a fear of crashing.

I was the fattest baby in Clark County, Arkansas. They put me in the newspaper. It was like a prize turnip.

Getting the nomination is like gravy. Winning would be like whatever is better than gravy.

I believe in running through the rain and crashing into the person you love and having your lips bleed on each other.

I attribute all my success to ignorance. If you don't ever think about not getting where you want to be, I think it helps you out.

Marketing is the devil.

If you love somebody let them know every day.

Usually when you're playing a character, you think a lot about their backstory.

Woman's virtue is man's greatest invention.

Music is the language of the heart. It can only sing songs of love.

There's always something you missed or something you didn't notice or somehow you got wrong... I don't really have a beginning.

You want a lesson? I'll give you a lesson. How about a geography lesson? My father's from Puerto Rico. My mother's from El Salvador. And neither one of those is Mexico.

I only wanna go up the steps toward a different level of stardom. The BET Awards was one of those steps, the VMAs was another huge step. And the next step, eventually, hopefully, would be the Oscars.

We [americans] self-regulate ourselves, we self-censor ourselves a lot in this country instead of having someone else censor us so we can blame them. That's not good, either.

The present, like a note in music, is nothing but as it appertains to what is past and what is to come.
