One thing I've learned is that I'm not the owner of my talent; I'm the manager of it.

Beauty's where you find it; not just where you bump and grind it.

I don't believe there's a certain age where you can't say and feel and be who you want to be.

I think most children who are adopted ultimately want to meet their biological parents and often do. I think that is an important journey for children who are adopted to go on.

I like pushing the envelope. But I don't like to do it just for the sake of doing it.

Believing in yourself and being willing to do anything, to walk through the fire, to do what it is that you want to do. Getting out of that car accident covered with blood to play the gig . . . I mean, that's me. That's just me.

There are moments when I can't believe I'm as old as I am. But I feel better physically than I did 10 years ago. I don't think, Oh God, I'm missing something.
