I'm trying to create the world around myself to be a place of as much equality and openheartedness as possible.

I write songs like "The Sweetest Love." Of course I'm a little cheesy. Love is cheesy. Love is corny. But it's also the greatest feeling in the whole world.

I just want to say that dreams do come true. Don't ever give up on your dreams. Sometimes it just takes a little bit longer for some of us.

Right now, with terrorism and poverty and Wall Street and Social Security having problems, nudity should not be the issue.

Life is full of constant ups and downs, and all I ask for is redemption in the end.

Entertain the people. Give them something they're not ready for, make them talk.

I don't like labels, but I do have blue eyes and I'm soulful, so what am I going to do?
