stars thinking magic
I don't think somebody can just, like, wave a magic wand and make you a star.
growing-up kids thinking
I think so much of what informs us as performers is what we had to endure as kids growing up. I was the youngest in my family. I always got a lot of attention.
thinking clinton very-cool
I really, really love Hilary Clinton. I think she's very cool. She's out there and she's involved.
believe thinking humanity
I'm very much an optimist. I don't think I could do my work if I didn't believe there was some kind of hope for humanity.
thinking self disgusting
I think Bush is amateurish and self-serving, and frankly, it's disgusting.
flower thinking people
I think people are a little bit intimidated by me. You know, I'm not exactly a wilting flower, so I think they're a little bit scared of me sometimes.
emotional thinking people
I tend to go against the grain because when I start to see that everybody's trying to shock, I try not to. I just do stuff that's subtler, more emotional, and I think that shocks people.
thinking wish different
I think there are always different times in your life when you go, "Oh, god. I wish I were traditionally pretty. My life would be so much easier." But then you get through that, and you go, "Well, I'm not."
thinking enron-scandal white
I think everybody is covering their [posteriors] with the Enron scandal and it was very convenient that Sept. 11 came along to deflect the fact that they should never have been in the White House in the first place. What happened in the election was completely corrupt.
mean thinking bisexual
Lots of people think that bisexual means cowardly lesbian.
humor thinking lasts
I love National Geographic. Just when you think you've seen the last lost native tribe, National Geographic will find a new one.
thinking bravery inspire
I think bravery is when you're willing to really put yourself on the line and maybe lose out, financially - and be able to say exactly what motivates you and what inspires you and what you find completely unacceptable in humanity and in culture.
thinking gone feminine
I think I've drawn from some of the most feminine women, like Jackie Kennedy. I am totally devastated that she's gone. She had it all.
along came convenient covering deflect election enron everybody fact happened house scandal white
I think everybody is covering their posteriors with the Enron scandal and it was very convenient that Sept. 11 came along to deflect the fact that they should never have been in the White House in the first place. What happened in the election was completely corrupt.
