I don't feel I made any sacrifices at all. I'm doing my best to juggle.

It was always part of the plan to move into acting.

You have to love what you do to want to do it everyday.

In film, you are a totally different person than in the video.

Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want.

I'm involved in some action scenes, so they'll train me for that. I'll be working with my acting coach to prepare for my character.

I don't feel I made any sacrifices at all. I'm doing my best to juggle.

There are certain things I want to keep to me. I don't discuss my private life.

I'm the interpreter. I'm the one who takes your words and brings them to life. I was trained to sing and dance and laugh, and that's what I want to do.

I don't want to abandon one work for the other, and I don't think I need to sacrifice anything to put my all into either one of them.

It's hard to say what I want my legacy to be when I'm long gone.

There are times in my life when I just want to be by myself.

I began to work the stage and get the audience into it. I also learned how to have fun out there. It is something I will never forget.

I want people to remember me as a full on entertainer and a good person.

Because I came out as a singer, I took the time to get an acting coach.

If I don't think about it, it won't drive me crazy.

The Matrix is top secret. There isn't much that can be said right now.

I'm a total performer.

There are times I can't even figure myself out.

I have the time needed to support the album and tour.

If you want to go to the mall, you have to take security. But it's always cool. The kids are amazing.

It's really a sad story, and I liked that. The songs on this album talk about relationships in every aspect.

I see myself as sexy. If you are comfortable with it, it can be very classy and appealing.

I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.

All I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope that my fans feel where I'm coming from.

Romeo Must Die came at the right time. It was the right vehicle for me.

I don't think about my previous success. I'm happy that the work I've done has been very successful.

I think it's important to take a break, you know, from the public eye for a while, and give people a chance to miss you. I want longevity. I don't want to get out there and run myself ragged and spread myself thin.

I know that people think I'm sexy and I am looked at as that. It is cool with me. It's wonderful to have sexy appeal. If you embrace it, it can be a very beautiful thing.

And if at first you don't succeed, then dust yourself off and try again!

I stay true to myself and my style and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.

Its Friday and Im ready to swing. Pick up my girls and hit the party scene.

George Orwell's '1984' frequently tops surveys of our greatest books: it's not a celebration of poetic language.

In the democratic western countries so-called capitalism leads a saturnalia of 'freedom', like a bastard brother of reform.

Editing requires you to be always open, always responding. It is very important, for example, not to allow yourself to want the writer to write a certain kind of book. Sometimes that's hard.

Its not up to you how you fall. Its up to you how far you let yourself fall and how long it takes you to get back up and stand on your own two feet

There is always a group of death in any World Cup. And it's a complement in a way to be in a group of death because it means that you're a good team also.

Sometimes you're going to win close fights, and that's the way it is.

No one intimidates me because I'm not trying to do what you do, because I can't do what you do. I can only do what Mary J. Blige can do, so that relaxes me right there, and it gets me out of the competition and that whole thing.

Reservoir Dogs is a small film, and part of its charm was that it was a small film. I'd probably make it for $3 million now so I'd have more breathing room.

Individualism. Narcissism. Value-free choices. These are all key elements in the decline of the practice of mutual accountability in Western churches, among clergy and laity alike.

Well, everyone likes movies when they're a little kid.
