Stephen King

I couldn’t live without my music, man. Or me mum.

I have cellulite. I have stretch marks. I feel intimidated by Victoria’s Secret. Hollywood is one of those endless competitions, but it’s like running a race toward nothing. There’s no winning. You’re never going to win the pretty race. I just want to be the best version of myself that I can be.

I’ve always had problems with guys!

They (Barnes Theatre Club) were a very good group, and for some reason when I finished the backstage thing, I just decided to that I should try to act. So I auditioned for Guys and Dolls and got a little tiny part as some Cuban dancer or something and then in the next play I got the lead part, and then I got my agent. So I owe everything to that little club.

I found that the more truthful and vulnerable I was, the more empowering it was for me.

I prayed to God for peace and love, I’m looking at you as a blessing. You told me life been looking up so take that past shit as a lesson.

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

I don’t take myself that seriously. I’ve just had a good, big life. It’s a big one.

Besides, I’m a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around.

I’m very outspoken. I will ask a silly question, but I really am deadly serious. I want to know the answer.

It’s VH1, it’s everywhere, and you know music is just the world right now. People love music.

I believe ‘ye’ is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible it means ‘you’.

Ignorance is bliss? That’s bull, far as I’m concerned. Because I was making a half a cent a side – one penny for a record. It’s like building buses, for example. If you built this bus for me and I didn’t know anything about it, you could charge me whatever I’d pay for it. Now, which one of us is crazy? Me. And that’s the way they did me on the records. But I don’t fault them for it, because if you don’t know, you don’t know. It took me to learn.

You’d be surprised how much fun you start to have once ya stop giving A f**k.

[On husband Ryan Phillippe] I don’t think I can imagine a better guy than the one I’ve ended up with.
