Cats know, comin’ out of four, they better be standin’ on it, else they’ll be standin’ in it.

At least when the race starts he knows where they’re all at, ’cause they’re in front of him. Better to do it today than tomorrow.

Never put a question mark where God puts a Period.

I quit driving, I’m not retired.

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,

He was going to make it. He had a passion for driving a car … Adam was never interested in anything else.

There are so many different definitions of ‘pretty.’ it’s so much broader than before. The old pretty is boring- nobody cares anymore.

Obviously, as an adult I realize this girl-on-girl sabotage is the third worst kind of female behavior, right behind saying “like” all the time and leaving your baby in a dumpster.

(On his feud with rapper Ja Rule) Right now he’s desperate. He should be talking about me, not Eminem and (Dr. Dre) and everybody else. He’ll lose, he knows that. The route that he has to take is the “I’m a mad gangsta” hardcore route, and ain’t nobody gonna believe him.

I really like comedy that brings people together. There’s a lot of comedies lately that have been at people’s expense or been kind of acidic or mean-spirited. And some folks like that, and I think there’s room for that, but that’s not my style. I like something that makes us all feel closer. Comedy, at its best, can be healing.

I’m waiting for them to make ‘Thundercats’. I would love to be Cheetara.

If The Beatles or the 60’s had a message, it was ‘Learn to swim. And once you’ve learned – swim!’

I don’t know how many millions of photographs have been taken of me.

You wouldn’t pour soda on plants.

I would say my number one tip is to know that it’s okay to be in love with yourself. That’s not a bad thing. People might think it’s cocky, or arrogant, or selfish – no, that’s not what that means. Being in love with yourself is okay.

I don’t look at negative comments because my parents and family don’t let me. My big sister controls my Instagram, and my big brother controls my Twitter. I also don’t really Google myself or anything like that.

When you go to Marvel, they lock you in a room with the scripts; they really are that secretive.

[on filming Red Eye] I loved the action sequences, running though an airport in heels and all that stuff. That was really fun.

I think people fetishize glasses in general. You could put glasses on a rotting pumpkin and people would think it was sexy.

Freud: If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother.

To rock isn’t necessarily to cavort.
