I am also very proud to be a liberal. Why is that so terrible these days? The liberals were liberatorsthey fought slavery, fought for women to have the right to vote, fought against Hitler, Stalin, fought to end segregation, fought to end apartheid. Liberals put an end to child labor and they gave us the five day work week! What's to be ashamed of?

I don't feel like a legend. I feel like a work in progress.

I knew that with a mouth like mine, I just hadda be a star or something.

My nose was part of my heritage, and if I had talent to sing and to act, why wasn't that enough?

I go by instinct - I don't worry about experience.

I started going to acting school when I was 14, and I would always have my own take on things.

In the music business, we all do different things, but we sit there and admire other people who can write a song differently or sing differently. It's not so competitive.
