A little bird told me that jumping is easy and the falling is fun, right up until you hit sidewalk shivering and stunned.

It can be very frustrating and very deflating to be constantly defined and described by other people, so I've stopped reading anything written about me, and I find it much healthier. I just sort of concentrate on what I do and don't worry too much about that.

I have earned my disillusionment.

And thoughts of no other man but you could possibly get through the picket lines to enter into my mind.

I think when a society has such a profoundly dark and awful evil such as slavery in its history, then it leaves scars that are very, very deep. And unless we collectively address them and really put our effort to healing them, they'll perpetuate. The United States of America are still suffering from the echoes of slavery. I think we're still reeling from all the pain that is a result of it, and that's a reality.

There's a crowd of people harbored in each person There are so many roles that we play.

Playing show after show is like my bread and butter.
