I like to be at a party and be a quiet observer, be in conversation. I wouldn't say I was a class clown growing up, but I would definitely sit back in class and take snipes at the teacher.

Growing up, one of my cousins was an out gay man.

The most important thing for me as an actor playing a character is to make you laugh. That's my No. 1 goal.

I took a sociology class, and I got an A in it. Then I found out you could get an emphasis in criminal justice. I wanted to be an administrator.

I wanted to make youthful, irreverent anthems. Parents might not get it, but kids would.

I don't think my music is that big of a deal - my entire life is parenting. The fact that I make records and go off and play shows is a small percentage of my day-to-day existence.

Between children and parents, there is a difficulty of seeing each other simply as people.

When I was starting off in the beauty world, it wasn't easy. My family wasn't the most forthcoming. My friends didn't understand what I was doing or why I liked doing it.
