I have lovely memories of Los Angeles in the 1930s. I came down to live with my mother's cousin and they invited me to come and go to junior college for a year.
Everyone from my high school and junior college are now doctors and lawyers. I came from that kind of environment, but I chose to go on another path, even though I did promise my parents that I would get a degree. After that, I could do anything I wanted; that was the deal.
A lot of it's mental - a lot of the juniors, once you break them or change the momentum, they go away very quickly.
Jupiter, Pluto, pick a planet: we can go there. I just got a bit more work to do in the music industry, and we're going to space, baby.
When we first sent missions to Jupiter, no one expected to find moons that would have active volcanoes. And I could go down a long list of how often I've been surprised by the richness of nature.
When you go into court you are putting your fate into the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
If you come on a band tense, you're going to play tense. If you come a little bit foolish, act just a little bit foolish, and let yourself go, better ideas will come.
When you go to college you can just be whoever you wanna be. So I got there and I'm like, Yeah, I'ma rapper.
There's no real preparing at home for stand-up. You just go and you just do it.
If you ever have a mistake, you try to just kind of forget about it because if you carry that with you for the rest of the routine, then the rest of your routine might not go as planned. So you just kind of shake it off, and you just continue your routine like you didn't fall.
I'm going to go on just living and laughing and loving.
There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.
It is psychologically very hard to go through life without the justification, and the hope, provided by religion.
I bought Justin Bieber's house... He had, like, this nook under the stairs which I didn't need, so I covered it up. When I ran into him, he was like 'What did you do with the nook? I used to go in there and play video games.' When I told him it was gone, he was so upset. I didn't think this 20-year-old boy would even care!
Being 15, I feel like people want me to go down the Justin Bieber, Cody Simpson sort of genre.
Once a week we go to juvenile hall and talk to boys there. Just go and spend a day in the juvenile courts.
I never found even in my juvenile hours that it was necessary to go a thousand miles in search of themes for moralizing.
You can go into Mark Twain's material and prove anything you want. He was against war. He was for war. He was against rich people and he was for them. He was a kaleidoscope.
I wouldn't be in a huge hurry to go back to Kansas. It was just bizarre. There's a lot of very, very heavy set people who believe in whatever they were told, because they didn't seem to get out very much or be interested in leaving where they were. They just didn't seem that curious, and I find that a little hard to deal with.
I can dance to Beyonce, sing karaoke, create strategy, go on dates, and build a multi-billion company and show the world that women can build big businesses.
