I have just made stories to please myself, because I never grew up..

I'm too old to be forced..

I didn't have a life until I went up onstage..

I grew up in Ohio, and I was a musicologist since I was little; it is all that I would ever read..

I grew up watching Scooby Doo and Thelma was my favourite character..

Life's all about 'me' anyway.

I am not stroppy at all..

I'll tell you about it because I am here and you are distant..

I follow the rules until I go against them all..

Music has always been in me..

The less inhibited you are the better..

That which is measured improves. That which is measured and reported improves exponentially..

It's good for you to go somewhere that you wouldn't normally go..

You are someone and you have a right to your life..

I grew up as a photo nut. Every Christmas I would get a new camera. It's a huge part of my life..

I really fell in love with Africa..

Ain't nobody messin' with you but you.

you couldn't talk yourself into love any more than you could talk yourelf out of it..

History is at once freedom and necessity..

I'm thrilled to get hired every once in a while..

I grew up in a place that felt very integrated..
