You can have the coolest job in the world, but it only seems cool until you get sick of it.

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 think metal draws dumb people. It's not exactly a thinking man's genre.

I know plenty of hyper-intelligent metal people, but at the same time, there's this dumbass, hardheaded, macho attitude associated with it. For younger people, it's like a succubus.

Fashion, though Folly's child, and guide of fools, Rules e'en the wisest, and in learning rules.

I'm most excited about going swimming and riding water slides, shooting off fireworks, and playing basketball, and things like that. That's what I really love doing. Summer is a great time.

I think Gypsy [Rose Lee] would be appalled at today's rawer, more blatant displays of the female form. She was, in her own way, a prude.

You have to have sympathy for the villain. Even the most disgusting ones, you have to find something to connect with. I try to put as much of myself in every single character that I play.

When something happens to you, you either let it defeat you, or you defeat it.
