It's hard for me to be serious. I can't really rub oil on me and go all the way with it [laughs]. I hear some screams and I laugh to myself. I always get a kick out of it. I'm three feet tall, basically.

Perfection is often the enemy of greatness.

I take goldenseal, Echinacea and cod liver oil when flying to boost my immune system.

Don’t get high off praises, and don’t get too low on critiques.

The colors black and white are my uniform, to honor the working class. People like my parents, who were janitors and had to wear a uniform every day. It keeps me grounded.

I know what I like; if you go to my closet, I have at least four of everything.

I have not lost any of my crazy, fearless, raw, soulful, eclectic side and I plan on continuing to tell universal stories in an unforgettable way.
