My parents love each other. They work through their problems.

I'm a facist about spoilers. I'm the biggest pain in the ass to the marketing and promotions department. If I had my way, the commercials would be 30 seconds of black with a few words on them.

My mother's incredibly giving, almost too giving at times. And, my dad is a real logical person. He's got logic for every situation. They've been married for 24 years, so there was that stability, also. I really learned to think on my own at a very young age.

Oh, there's tons of resentment. That's normal. I can't control that, and I don't worry about it.

James Brown was one of the first artists who found four bars that he liked and played them the entire way through, and then he just added to it vocally.

My goal was to play drums, but my father made me take piano lessons. He told me I needed to learn to read music first, so I took lessons for six years. I thank God that he made me take those lessons, because it taught me a tremendous amount.

As of right now, I'm still waiting to meet Halle Berry. And she is single.
