Glenn Slater is my lyricist who, of the new young lyricists coming along, is the most exciting, I think.

Music, architecture and pictures have always been my passions, and all that material wealth has meant for me, is being able to have some of the pictures I liked.

Since 'School of Rock' opened, for the first time in my career, ever, really, I've had a lot of projects offered to me. It's extraordinary. Normally, I've initiated them all myself.

Superstar was made so early in my career I had nothing to do with it at all. The first time I saw it was the opening screening.

It's time to level the playing field for small business owners and give them the same health care choices that large corporations have. Because they don't have as many employees, they have little ability to negotiate lower rates.

I get my exercise acting as a pallbearer to my friends who exercise.

The poor don't know that their function in life is to exercise our generosity.
