I was asked to come to Chicago because Chicago is one of our fifty-two states.

The mind is an erogenous zone.

I knew I could always work harder and be better and show I’m more prepared. I had a whole science to, like, how you have to arrive 17 minutes early to something.

Entertainment isn’t just based on the very structured syndrome of European popular music, and it’s great that there are so many thousands of people who are of the same opinion.

I didn’t really have any idea of what Hollywood was except that it was a place where the made movies.

Friends don’t lie.

To me, they are equally important, as they represent a certain period in my life and times. With that in mind, it really is impossible to pick favorites.
