Just imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same. My idea of a perfect world is one in which we really appreciated each other's differences: Short, tall; Democrat, Republican; black, white; gay, straight-a world in which all of us are equal, but definitely not the same.

There's a part of you that always remains a child, no matter how mature you get, how sophisticated or weary.

Most awards, you know, they don't give you unless you go and get them - did you know that? Terribly discouraging.

When they tried me out as a host on TV, I found that I just couldn't be that gregarious person. I was stranger than that.

I believe in love and lust and sex and romance. I don't want everything to add up to some perfect equation. I want mess and chaos. I want someone to go crazy out of his mind for me. I want to feel passion and heat and sweat and madness. I want valenties and cupids and all of that crap. I want it all.

You have to live life in the moment and get the most out of it.

I'm a terrible lip-syncer anyway because I have to be in the moment, and I can't lip-sync to something I recorded three months before.
