If you want to slice into America, it's pretty red, white, and blue in terms of how it goes about things, but there's a gray area there, and I've always been interested in where things are complicated.
I'm a great example of somebody who is gay but exists on a very complicated gender spectrum. I'm okay with that uncertainty, and I'm okay with existing in a gray area and not always being sure.
I used to make my grandparents pay a dollar to watch me sing 'Grease' songs and 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' in their living room. I was always an entertainer, and I would always do all that stuff, but it slowly evolved into a career, which is great, but it wasn't a plan.
I always wanted to be a great actor.

I have always been very confident and very upbeat about the future potential of India. I think it is a great country with great potential.

I've always thought, and it gets tested at times, that I have a great faith in the fundamental goodness of human beings.
It's always a great feeling to help Holland as well as Liverpool but we all do it together.
A fancy lotion is always a great gift for Mom!
Never, ever command respect. Always earn it. A leader steps into the arena, and a great leader should never ask anyone to do anything that they haven't done or they haven't experienced.
The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.
When I talk to film students, I always say, 'Buy the DVDs and listen to the commentaries, look at the making of, look at the behind-the-scenes,' because that's such a great learning tool.
A great man is always willing to be little.
