I didn't feel so different until maybe, like, around third grade. Kids started blaming me for my people killing Jesus.

Letting your freak flag fly is something, no matter who you are, that takes great bravery, straight up.

And then before going back for my sophomore year, I decided to change my major to arts and sciences, and my dad cut a deal with me: He said if I'd quit school he'd pay my rent for the next three years, as if I were in school.

I do know that I can take a punch. I've been punched in the face three times. That's, I think, a really important thing to know about yourself. It helps you in life. It helps you be brave when you know you can take a punch. I'm a lover, not a fighter. But, God bless me, I can take a punch.

I can see myself adopting. I'm not in a rush to do it. I'm 39, I know, but I do love kids, and I'm very good - I've got a lot of really good moves.

I'd rather have a girl exposed to me than 25 women in prom dresses vying for a stranger.

I'm not wanting and I don't live in a hovel, but if you keep your costs low, you can do what you want to do creatively.
