I do know that I like to play characters that are sometimes a little on the outside - that's because it feels kind of romantic and sexier to me. I really think they are the people that we learn lessons from.
When someone bestows something on you, no matter how true it is, when someone says, 'Sexiest Man Alive,' I'm honestly going, 'Thank you. Right on.' For me, it's never canceled out anything, it's never made me go, 'Does this make me less talented of an actor?'
A lot of people have told me, 'You're not this and so can't play that,' and I can't tell you the amount of times I've been told I'm not sexy. I just go: 'I'm a lot of things. Just because I don't wear my sexiness overtly doesn't mean that I can't become that girl for a role.
Mum was a big style icon for me: her natural sexiness and natural confidence.
I'm kind of under the radar. Not a lot of people notice me. Which is surprising, because I'm so sexy. They're probably intimidated by my sexiness and crushability.
It's quite clear to me I'm not a sexist and I'm not a misogynist.
I don't give any merit to criticism. 'Country Girls (Shake it for Me),' I can see where people view that as sexist, but I just view that as having fun.
It's not just about being sexy, it's about being confident and me being confident in my sexuality.
I held in being sexually attracted to women for so long that once I got that out of me, the music became easy.
I don't want people to think of me as sexy.
From the moment I was six I felt sexy. And let me tell you it was hell, sheer hell, waiting to do something about it.
When my body feels good, I feel more energized and alive, and that's sexy. I'm taking care of this body God gave me.
To me, the art of music is magnificent, and I cannot bear to see it treated in a shabby way.
Comedy did a lot of things for me. I mean, 'SNL'? Not too bad. Not too shabby with this comedy thing. I have really worked on my comedy and really upped it some notches.
I had the little Radio Shack crystal radio, and then my aunt Judy bought me a shortwave radio. It was amazing to me: like on these really clear nights - I lived in Ohio - I could get Texas or Florida. You felt like the world was a smaller place.
Part of the joy of my career, for me, has been giving these iconic females a bit of shading of that unapologetic female vibe. I think it's an interesting approach.
I have never fully exorcised shames that struck me to the heart as a child except through written violence, shadowy caricature, and dark jokes.
My wife is cool enough to let me write about personal things, to be a songwriter exploring the shadowy sides of love.
I am well aware that the writers of New York, London, and Toronto are more readily noticed, though the shadowy and potent Ozarks Literary Cabal does what it can for me, then nightly joins me for dinner and calls me 'honey.'
I remember when 'Nostalgic 64' first dropped, and it became popular, Shady wanted to sign me at one point.
