Control the publics perception of you and nobody will care if you have any talent.

I kind of understand now why people freak out when they see celebrities that they love, because that's how I feel about every single Muppet.

You can love somebody and it can change your life but it doesn't mean that you're necessarily right to be together forever, but that love will change your life forever. And that's okay.

Chemotherapy is brutal. The goal is pretty much to kill everything in your body without killing you.

Music is hugely important to me.

I know what it's like to have my heart broken. It is not adorable.

I'm lucky because I have so many clashing cultural, racial things going on: black, Jewish, Irish, Portuguese, Cherokee. I can float and be part of any community I want. The thing is, I do identify with being black, and if people don't identify me that way that's their issue. I’m happy to challenge people's understanding of what it looks like to be biracial, because guess what? In the next 50 years, people will start looking more and more like me.
