I got into cello in the fourth grade, and I played that for years. I adored playing it. I got an opera coach when I was 12 because I really wanted to learn how to sing properly. The only proper way to sing, I thought at that age, was opera.
At the beginning, I thought, 'Oh, I can't criticize a singer who's doing a role that I adored... even a role I didn't do.' And then I thought, 'The heck with that! Thirty years of experience... ask the girl who did it!' And I feel that if they're not willing to take what I have to say, that's fine! But I'm going to say it.
Priyanka Chopra - I have actually adored her since I was 10, maybe, when she became Miss India. She's just super strong, and I crush on all strong women!
My brother is my inspiration. From being a star student in school, to the perfect boy next door - he was adored by everyone and I always looked up to him. We all shared a dream that he would become a pilot someday.
I've always just adored music. It's my first love, really. I admire and respect people in the music business. You really have to work hard and diligently. Sometimes actors can be lazy and get away with it, but you can't do that if you're a musician.
My writing works best when I remember that bookish child who adored reading and gear the work toward him.
Of course I adored and wanted to be Catwoman. That goes without saying.
Great artists are the ones who have put their entire selves out there to be adored, humiliated, to be picked at, cherished, all of those things, and haven't shied away from that.
If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn't be so adored in the slightest.
'She's a Mystery to Me' was released in 1987, when I was 11 or something, and I absolutely adored the song. This song was written by Bono and The Edge, and the story goes that Bono woke up with the tune in his head, then thought that the only voice who could sing this song is Roy Orbison.
