I'm encouraging other people, whether they're professionals or not, to use their creativity to express themselves, to get a conversation going, to get the party started, really.

I don't think ultimately God punishes. I think we bring about our own destruction or our own creation.

We're very privileged as Americans - it's easy to forget about the rest of the world and to think that your problems are the most important problems. Even poor people in America live better than poor people most everywhere else.

If the land of make believe is inside your heart it will never leave.

My daughter is a fan of mine but she doesn't want to be too obvious about it because I'm her mum and it's not cool.

In this business, my business, I get to meet all kinds of incredible people, fascinating people, glamorous people and sexy people and highly intellectual people. And you meet them and you go 'interesting, interesting, interesting'. They're interesting, but not very many people stop you in your tracks.

It's not my nature to just kick back.
