I'm not from a political family and didn't grow up dreaming of being George Washington. I started working in 8th grade and have held every odd job possible - working in a gravel pit, weighing big wheelers, ticket sales, data base management - but I knew if I worked hard and got experience, I could apply that experience to my next endeavor.
I don't remember a drama on TV that had shown a couple could be married but still love each other very much, spend every day as if they were still on their honeymoon, be sensuous, and have fun together.
It's fun playing villains. It's people who are not held by any moral constraints - or any constraints, for that matter. It's a chance to be completely off the leash and do things that you never could in real life.
There are some screw-ups headed your way. I wish I could tell you that there was a trick to avoiding the screw-ups... but they're coming for ya. It's a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.
Through the Internet, I've developed a strong social network - something I could never do if I had to keep my choice of peers within school grounds.
People saw me as just a singer - yeah, a pretty face who could sing - and not more than that.
When you're on the subway in New York, people literally could be 11-inches away from you, and you can't just stare at them.
I was looking for the people who were making the music inside the cabinet. I would look in there and see if I could find somebody who was making all this wonderful music.
Growing up on a farm was the best. I remember loving that expanse of space. The sky at night was so clear, I could see every star.
If I could have worked from the time I was born until I was 18 and never had to work again, I would have done it.
