Life isn’t just about you: It’s about family and friends and giving back.

Many people worry so much about managing their careers, but rarely spend half that much energy managing their lives. I want to make my life, not just my job, the best it can be. The rest will work itself out.

It’s nice to come home to what’s real.

I read while the kids play. I can see them from the kitchen window. And I’m a fast reader.

I have to turn down roles I really want to do because I can’t travel. But that’s okay, because you make peace with things in your mind.

I’m just chatty. But I do express my opinion.

I only mentioned people in Barbie Dreams that I f**k wit. This isn’t a diss. Yikes. This is culture, this is BIGGIE!!!!! New York!!!! This is FUN. Light hearted fun.

We rely more on enthusiasm than actual skill. Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically and people will like it more.

When people come out of rehab, they usually go to secondary rehab for another six months and then enter back into society gradually. But I came out and did Top Of The Pops straight away!

I don’t think I’m very much like anyone else, really. I’m sure there are aspects of other actors that I share, but I don’t see anybody else and go, “Damn, they stole my thing”. I’m me, and I like that there are people who have an appreciation for that.

These sprint boys weren’t happy with how the sport was being promoted and where it was going, so they asked me if I’d still be interested in helping them, and I am,

I love Scrubs. It’s the best day job in the world.

I’d probably say I’m very strong. If somebody says something horrible, I’m like, ‘Okay, whatever.

Right now, it’s really about my fans knowing that whatever I believed spiritually at the time is what I believed. I just wouldn’t deliberately lie to them just to save my image.

I wish everybody would treat themselves like a plant.

To a smart girl men are no problem – they’re the answer.

If there’s anything that I can do with my time and my day to somehow make a difference, while I’m alive, imma try to do it. Period.

I think Kanye West is kind of in a perpetual state of being interviewed and he shares his thoughts constantly.

Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual with the successful one is a lot of hard work.

A lot of them also looked a little further down the line in the future than we did. We always did everything out of Level Cross (N.C.) in the backyard and we were fairly successful with the thing. Then it started being a bigger and bigger business. It started going and bringing more people in, more money, more technology, that kind of stuff. We still sat there in the backyard. By the time we got ready to do something about it, we were so far behind on our money and our engineering and all that stuff it’s just taken us a little time to get going.

Music comes from a place we don’t know.
