I think cooking should be an experience, not a chore.
It's absolutely delightful to get dressed up for a lovely evening, but when it goes from being a fun thing to being a chore, and a chore that men don't have to do, then we need to think about it differently.
I think I just have this need to be a storyteller. That's why I wasn't a great dancer - I couldn't articulate a story. I was a better choreographer. I have the need to to just express myself in that way. I can't explain it.
I consider myself kind of a reporter - one who uses words that are more like music and that have a choreography. I never think of myself as a poet; I just get up and write.
I was always interested in choreography - in making people think and feel something.
It's tough hearing your voice on the radio, on a chorus, and knowing that people think it's another artist.
I think the inception of my interest in arts was when I was around 9 or 10 and I started dancing. I was really convinced that I was going to go to New York and be onstage in 'A Chorus Line.'
Don't let anybody make you think God chose America as His divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world.
I think Chris Brown gets kind of dismissed as a gay writer, and I think Chris's books are really, really smart. I wish his books sold a little more widely.
I think, between me and Chris Brown, if you combined our games, you'd get, like, a real Division I basketball player.
I've been blessed to have insanely hip parents who think of me as their little Chris Rock.
I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness.
Do I think all contemporary Christian music is good? No.
For us to think we can enjoy, understand and practice the Christian religion with just Matthew to Revelation is foolishness.
I think most of our religious institutions are pretty corrupt, so they're not reliable. I think the Christian religion that I was brought up with has very little to do with Christ, really, and more an institutions that have built up around the church.
I don't think the Christian Right dominates America in the way some in the media believe they do.
I have never ever Googled myself; in fact I think the Christian right prohibits such things.
The point is that there is tremendous hypocrisy among the Christian right. And I think that Christian voters should start looking at global warming and extreme poverty as a religious issue that speaks to the culture of life.
If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.
Think of what you are, you Christians. You are God's children; you are joint heirs with Christ. The 'many mansions' are for you; the palms and harps of the glorified are for you. You have a share in all that Christ has and is and shall be.
