For me, going to London is like coming home. In fact, I've often entertained the idea of ending my days there.

I don't have to go to a doctor and have my face changed. It terrifies me that women do that.

My movie career - if such a thing even exists - is laughable.

There were a lot of lyrics that I sang but didn't understand. But I had this facade in performance of looking like I wrote the book.

People create from different places. Some love to create from a tortured place, some from a joyful place. And when I feel like I'm a 5-year-old kid in my backyard playing pretend, that's when I'm happiest.

Thus happiness depends, as nature shows, less on exterior things than most suppose.

I get a special joy in knowing people feel comfortable if they see me in Wal-Mart or in a no-frills section trying to get something on a discount.

My parents were not very happy. They were very worried about me pursuing a career that even if I had talent might not give me the happiness and the success that they - any parent hopes for their child.
