To me, unconventional thinking is approaching a problem and asking, 'Why not? Why can't something be done?' If someone can't give me a good reason why you can't do something, I find a way to do it.

Los Angeles is such a great meritocracy. Where can someone with my background - don't have the right family background, the right religion, the right provenance or whatever you want to call it - I come here and I'm accepted. The city's been good to me. And I want to give back.

Beauty products always cheer me up and give me hope. If it makes you feel pretty, why not?

There's a reason God didn't give me this success in my 20s, because I'd have blown it.

To me, the only good reason to be touring is if you still have something good to share instead of just revisiting past glories.

Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.
