There is no other investment that has the kind of social multiplier effect that early education has. It is an incredible thing to nurture and watch grow and spread.

Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.

Even after I got some recognition and success, I still had to work hard and prove myself.

My brain, I believe, is the most beautiful part of my body.

I think it's my energy and love of life that has been the real key to my fame and success.

I remember the first time I saw the 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' video. I will never forget that day. I just wanted to see Kurt Cobain's face. I had a feeling he was very cute. But, I couldn't see his face. When I finally did see him, he was even cuter than I imagined!

Scars remind me of just how far that I've come.
