And I believe that you never be limited in what you do, so I like to do movies, I like to do television.

It's through sheer will that I can sing.

There are times when I don't take roles because I don't want to be perceived a certain way.

How often are the perpetrators of hate-crimes discovered to be self-loathing? Valued individuals do not strike out against strangers.

With Russia about to hold the Winter Games in Sochi, the country is open to pressure. American and world leaders must speak out against Mr. Putin's attacks and the violence they foster. The Olympic Committee must demand the retraction of these laws under threat of boycott.

The next time you feel you have to say, "I love you" to someone, say it to yourself - and see if you believe it.

There's nothing I need from anyone except love and respect, and anyone who can't give me those two things has no place in my life.
