Acting is playing - it's actually going out on a playground with the other kids and being in the game, and I need that. Writing satisfies that part of myself that longs to sit in my room and dream.

I was the fattest baby in Clark County, Arkansas. They put me in the newspaper. It was like a prize turnip.

I generally have lyrics first, but you can't help that when you're writing lyrics you start to get a melody in your head. So they come kind of simultaneously.

Anytime you get a chance to play some extreme character, in any direction, it's always a great blessing.

Just the other day, my assistant was on the line with Calvin Klein. Golly, I usually shop at Sears.

Man, I was drowning in sadness. And Angelina, she lifted me right up out of there.

Life is magical and I guess my thing is I wish that people wanted that magic.
