Things that would shock us years ago are like nothing now.

Working with Gabby [Sidibe], I realized immediately that she was amazingly talented. I could tell just by the way she'd get into the role.

The idea of having to conform to someone else's ideal is unacceptable. I'm gonna be me. And if I can't be me, then I'd rather not do it.

It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.

I do my best to try to keep God with me on a personal level. It's my belief that God really wants a personal relationship with us.

Being free is a state of mind.

You're never promised your next breath.
