I always want to go back and do stand-up; I like the freedom.

I guess because of my act, people think that I say things they want to say, and that they can just come up and say anything to me.

In a theater, the part is mine and I can control it as I want to. In the movies, I don't have direct contact, and I am fighting technical machinery.

For everything I do, I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concert last night. I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night. I never want to be arrested, and I never want to get a DUI, those are my moral values.

For me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don't think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I'm with them.

I am an over-achiever, and I want to be known for the good things in my life.

I haven't had that one great love, which is good. I don't want that to be in the past - I want it to be in the future.
