When it comes to performing and entertaining, the art removes itself from the writing.

Always remember there is nothing worth sharing, like the love that let us share our name.

Sometimes I'm extremely afraid of the unknown, but I'm so grateful to be on that journey.

In the world of music, the audience is not just fans of music; they're fans of many things.

I think everyone on the planet is a fan of a painting because everyone is a fan of visual stimulation, but I've had freedom in the world [of painting] because I've kept it to myself.

Whether it's about children or not, we have to move forward.

In the music world, when we're making work, we are obligated to no longer be completely free from what we are to someone else - sort of like an athlete, where you become a role model to someone.

We have to continue to grow within and outwardly. We have to keep going.

One of the things that I love about painting is that I never consider myself to have an audience.

I have always considered myself an artist and painting was the first medium that I claimed.

We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.

I don't know, if I had the secret recipe that I actually could give everybody, I think it has to do very much with believing in yourself and giving time. Giving time to each member of the family.

I'm coming for Ryan Seacrest - I want to be the black Ryan Seacrest for BET. I want to host, I want to produce, I want to do everything for the network.

I feel sexy in my jeans and wearing my boyfriend's T-shirt.

Come with me while the moon is on the sea The night is young and so are we Dreams come true in Blue Hawaii And mine could all come true This magic night of nights with you

Originality is always a strange thing. There's nothing original anymore. It's all something based on something in some way - even if it's not intentional. So that idea has been done.

Your peace of mind, your assurance of answers to vexing problems, your ultimate joy depend upon your trust in Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

To achieve the impossible; it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.

What I propose, then, is a strategy for interrogating the Darwinists to, as it were, squeeze the truth out of them.
