It’s an important point to make that people can’t just be invalidated, eradicated, because they don’t fit tidily into a box. And more and more, the modern world is all about conformity.

I need to let people know who I am and instead of just trying to make great records, just be honest and make it more personal and make it more passionate, to make records with emotion and not be afraid to express that.
When I first got into the entertainment industry, I would always watch Rihanna and all those people, so I was like, ‘Ooh, I have to be this.’ So my mom was like, ‘Just be yourself.’
When someone is in crisis, don’t start by teaching, leveraging, or explaining. Just be with.
In all my content I don’t really swear or use profanity, because I believe comedy can just be pure.
The mechanic could lift up the bonnet of the car and show me four dwarves strapped to a pair of tandems and tell me that the motor was actually dwarf-powered and that one of the little fellows had to be replaced, and I’d just be numbly writing out a cheque and scribbling ‘new dwarf – car’ on the stub.
I really do want to just be able to sit in the corner of the pub with my friends… to just be an actor and still go to the supermarket and not get bothered.

I’m very lucky that people are able to say, ‘Oh, that’s that Moody Blues guy!’ I’m very fortunate with that. That’s all. Without the songs, I think, I’d just be a pretty average karaoke singer. In the end, it comes down to the songs: the strength of the songs.
I want challenges. I want to compete. I don’t want it to always be easy. I don’t want it to always just be a few of us girls. I want there to be competition.

Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic erotic women. Why can’t we just be the sexy American girl next door?

My goal has always been to just be a person who makes great art.
There’s this American dream to put enough away that you can golf and build a birdhouse or just be in a Barcalounger watching football all day. I’ll never be that guy. And I’m not really sure the people who have that are all that happy. Our desires as a man are to work, plow ahead, and overcome conflict.
How do you talk about the Holocaust? How do you talk about slavery? Probably the best thing to do is just be quiet and hide from it, forget about it. Except, then it jumps up and bites you. Because it’s there.
It’s fun for me to try to write concise, compact things. It’s a very good exercise for me. And I think it’s important to try to do different things – change what I write about, and also the way I write. Otherwise, I’d just be repeating myself, which wouldn’t be good for me or fair to my readers.

Forget words like ‘hard sell’ and ‘soft sell.’ That will only confuse you. Just be sure your advertising is saying something with substance, something that will inform and serve the consumer, and be sure you’re saying it like it’s never been said before.
If you were on the phone with me and Tommy right now, we would probably forget you were there, we’d just be cracking jokes. It’s like Beavis and Butthead.
I won’t complain, but I don’t want to just be doing action films and extended character transformations, you know? I want to explore, and I’m up for anything. Honestly, I just want to read a good script and fall in love.
