When you're not putting a bunch of chemicals into everbody, people tend not to fly off the handle.

It's easy to gravitate toward something negative as opposed to something positive, especially if you're an outsider.

I'm not going to hide the fact that I am a happy person.

I took music theory in high school and dropped out halfway through the semester because it was ruining music for me.

Travel, trouble, music, art, a kiss, a frock, a rhyme -- I never said they feed my heart, but still they pass my time.

Where's the need of singing now?

Anything that makes you feel good is always going to be drawing in more.

I disagree with what the majority of the American people want.

Gymnastics is definitely my job, but the great thing about that is I love my job.

I had two sisters, and we would love to get dressed up and pretend that we were chic, sophisticated ladies. And I think that was a great sort of preparation, in a way.
