Beauty pageants in general are foreign and noxious to me: I can barely muster the energy to put on lip gloss and mascara.
I can be not showered and dressed like a slob, but my lip gloss will be on!
I can rap in a London accent, make weird faces, wear spandex, wigs, and black lipstick. I can be more creative than the average male rapper.
When I was a little child, I watched every game in the Champions League, and now I can play it for myself.
I want to show little girls that the possibilities are endless. That's my goal - to not only do it for myself, but to show them I can do whatever I put my mind to.
My foundation was created so I can find a way to improve the living conditions of my people in the African continent, not just in Congo.
When the positions of so many managers is precarious, and there isn't long-term stability, I can understand why they are loath to risk.
The only logical thing I can think of is that I knew there were such things as artists, and I knew there were none where I lived. So I knew that to be an artist you had to be somewhere else. And I very much wanted to be somewhere else.
I want to be as gracious and thankful as I can because it has been a long road.
Every relationship should eventually become a long-term relationship. Any director that I meet now isn't just a director. He's potentially a friend, and someone I can call to do a project that I want or that I have.
At the beginning of writing fiction, too much of the newspaper style was getting into the prose, so I thought, 'Gee, I should try writing longhand. Maybe I can tap something that goes back to the point before I could type.'
I can remember watching 'Lord of the Rings' and being truly regretful that I wasn't a being in that world.
I can play the trumpet. Before I became an actor, I wanted to be the next Louis Armstrong. I started young and got to grade seven. When I turned 13, everyone started whipping out guitars, looking cool and joining rock bands, so I stopped playing.
I've written some love letters in my life, I can say.
I think that's part of my evolution: realizing that I can say 'no' to things, even when I'm faced with that lull that comes between projects, and I get anxious because I feel like I need to be constantly working.
The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.
I can relate to anything. I once played Macbeth. I got a lot of laughs, so I quit.
I can count on one hand the number of conductors-composers-arrangers that I enjoy working with, and at the top of that list is Mack Wilberg. I feel like I've known Mack forever. I'm just nuts for him.
I can only be the madman that I've been so long.
I discovered that I act because I really love to act. I don't act because maybe it will get me a magazine cover or that I can get on a talk show.
