You can't worry about pleasing other people; you have to please yourself.

To be given permission to be confused -- and remain confused -- for as long as it takes would have been a huge gift.

I like to read. Autobiographies.

There's other things I'd like to do. I probably won't tour for a very, very long time. It's something that you feel inside and that's the way I've been looking at everything.

I always knew that I could go deep. How deep? I don't know. But it always seems that with each character I take on, I'm challenged to go deeper than the last time, and then again deeper than the last time. This is the deepest I've ever been asked to dive. And to see how deep I actually went for this, and that I wasn't afraid to go there in order to give Tyler exactly what he envisioned for the character, which was pretty deep, that's what I discovered about myself.

It's very hard trying to have love and a career at the same time. For those who can, great, but I can't.

There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.
