If you get up on stage and brag, I don't think that's very brave. It's braver to get up and take your clothes off. And I do that every night.

The showbiz world has to be manipulated to make it more interesting because most people's lives are boring.

We see differences in people and seem to be afraid of people. The black or white or gay or straight - I don't necessarily look for differences but for similarities. We need to be looking out for each other.

I always wanted to be a Muppet. So when 'Sesame Street' approached me to guest star, I thought: 'I'm going to be on this!' It's pretty incredible stuff.

Things take a long time, but when it's right things move fast.

I think the things that make me excited are only best when they're shared with people.

It's taken a long time but eventually when I had the songs in place and demos right and I found myself a manager, that's when everything started happening quickly but I think that's always the way it is.
