My head's never really quiet. The only time I can get it to turn off is if I watch 'CSI' or 'Law & Order,' where I have to follow the crime. If I can't turn my head off during that, I know I've really got a problem.
The present moment, if you think about it, is the only time there is. No matter what time it is, it is always now.
I tend to stay up late, not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of the day when I'm alone and don't have to be performing.
The only time you will ever see me in drag is when I am - What? Getting paid. It is my job.
The only time I have problems is when I sleep.
Running started as a way of relaxing. It's the only time I have to myself. No phones or e-mails or faxes.
The only time my records are going to be broken is by my own spawn. I'm going be training that child out the womb.
I wouldn't say I'm underrated, but more reserved. Only time will tell, but I've been good so far in being consistent and making hit after hit writing for myself and other artists, from rap to R&B, and being able to make those different records.
The only time I don't work is when I am asleep.
I think real life couples on screen are kind of deadly. For the most part, they're kind of deadly. You'd be surprised. Unless they're falling in love onscreen for the first time, you don't have quite the same energy for some reason.
You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time, so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting.
I laugh all the time - at things, people, stuff, whatever. But, I don't laugh onstage because then it's serious business.
The first time I got onstage was when I was about 5 years old. It was at a church social, and I had a poem to recite.
For me, music is so passionate, I have to give it my all every time I go onstage. Onstage, it was always comfortable for me, because that's where I felt at home.
By the time I was 13, I was the only one in London, Ontario, who knew how to play rock n' roll.
I was born in the city of Brantford, Ontario, Canada - but by the time I'd left high school, I'd moved seven times with my family, my father's engineering work taking us to places as far-flung as Bay City, Texas, and Wolnae-Ri in South Korea.
I used to drive up from theatre in Michigan to Stratford, Ontario to watch every show. I idolized the actors from Stratford. I was very influenced by them because they would come down and work at my theatre and get time on their American Equity union cards.
Every time I step onto the stage, it's not only proving to the audience that I'm capable but to myself.
The United Nations was founded 70 years ago, at the end of World War II. Since that time, Japan has steadfastly walked the path of peace and rebuilt a nation. And, since the mid-1950s onward, we have actively worked to share our experience of development with other nations, especially in Asia.
Artists have different responsibilities in different eras. But at this point, I really feel like it's all hands on deck. An artist that's fiddle-faddling in opaque, gossamer gestures - I mean it's fine to do that, totally fine, but there's no time left. We don't have the luxury of time anymore.
