I've always seen myself as one of those 'show people.' My earliest memories are wanting and needing to entertain people, like a gypsy traveler who goes from place to place, city to city, performing for audiences and reaching people.
The key to happiness is allowing ourselves to not feel bad or guilty for feeling it, and letting it be contagious. And to not be dependent on other people to create your own happiness.
Being happy is a choice. And you can make that choice every day, if you want to.
Sometimes we love people so much that we have to be numb to it. Because if we actually felt how much we love them, it would kill us. That doesn't make you a bad person. It just means your heart's too big.
I'm a clean freak and a germaphobe - I have hand sanitizer in my pocket.
Sticking to your values, listening to your instincts, making your own choices is so important.
Yeah, I'm a giver. I've learned to be selective of the people in my world, because if I love someone, I will give them my blood, whatever they need. In doing so, one can end up with little left for themselves.
After a breakup, it takes a couple weeks for the fog to settle, but it's always a period of self-priority and growth. Life presents you with so many decisions. A lot of times, they're right in front of your face and they're really difficult, but we must make them.
I did learn one great lesson from a past relationship, and that was to never talk about relationships in print again because I'd rather live my private life than read about it.
Cherish the good, learn from the bad
I'd love to be a man for a day, just to see what it's like.
I'm a Christian. I go to church when I can. I was raised Baptist. I went to a Lutheran school. I'm a nondenominational practicing Christian. I have a lot of faith.
My trouble is I talk first and think later.
You actually can make it, no matter what. I truly am a firm believer in that. Eminem's living proof.
My favourite song is Someone To Love. That is more like me than the other stuff, as it was the only one I was actually able to create from the bottom up. I call it an homage, not a remake. It is an homage to Freddie Mercury, because I don't think people can really remake Freddie Mercury. That's why we did a gospel version.
It's always been my mom and I against the world.
I'm trying to figure out the trick of working to live as opposed to living to work, but I don't know if I've quite stumbled upon it just yet.
Tired is not a word in my vocabulary. (Meaning)
I'd do almost anything for love, within safe boundaries. I've flown to places to surprise people, even if it was just for a day. I think it's so important to keep the romance alive and make sure the fun and spontaneity are there.
I don't even take myself seriously, so how could I possibly take Hollywood seriously?
I'm a really rotten liar. Generally, if I've tried to pull off a lie, it hasn't worked out to my advantage.
I'm not really a big candy eater.
Well, I lost my virginity in a car. But it wasn't a very nice one.
If you can't change your surroundings, change your hair color.
Individuality is vitally important. When people start to lose their individuality is when I believe they start to lose themselves. I think children are born with this message, and it shouldn't be taken away from them. I hope they walk away with it after seeing the film, and adults too. And I notice it also with myself, because the older I get, the more I embrace my own idiosyncrasies.
If I could be a third of the woman that my mom is and have a third of the strength that she has, then I will have done good by this life.
I am honored to be a part of that film. It has a really important message, embracing one's individuality. It was the most universal film I've ever read.
Curiosity did kill the cat, but I'm very curious.
It's easy to get wrapped up in sharing everyday life with a partner. It's fun to get lost in love and romance. It's the best. But holding on to yourself while doing that is the most important thing.
With all the technology we're inventing and what they're coming up with scientifically, people are having longer lifetimes. It's scary, but in the same sense it's also very exciting.
My dreams and aspirations when I was a child for as long as I can remember was to be an entertainer.
I don't really take myself very seriously.
I've never formally trained in acting, so I'm very instinctual and visceral with decisions.
And as much as I love the gritty characters, I like to play all sorts of characters. I'm an actor. I love to create.
I think they should take everyone who works for The National Enquirer and the Star, and everyone who works for Us Weekly, and put them all to work looking for terrorists. I think they would find the terrorists. All of them. It would be genius!
I've grown environmentally. I'm far more cautious, although I always have been; but more now. And I have grown a lot professionally by working with George Miller.
I got a phone call from George Miller [the director] asking me to play this role. We sat down and he showed me on his computer a documentary-type montage sequence of real penguins swimming, in an Esther Williams synchronized sort of way, and doing things I have never seen them do. Then he explained his vision of the film, asked me to read the script and to voice the character. I was cast a little bit later, and he let me do the singing as well!
I've been singing my whole life, since I was a kid; but never formally as a career. I did it in plays when I was younger, and I sang all styles of music: everything from Italian opera to blues.
One day I got to meet him because he was teaching Broadway dance. It was a little after Tap came out and he was very young. He wouldn't remember me, but it was quite amazing. And now I've met him as an adult!
I would hope with all my heart that people understand this and see it in the film. And there are also other messages in Happy Feet, like racial and environmental ones, but none of them are so overt. George has made a great story about penguins with a lot of humanity in it and audiences can follow a species we don't know that well.
It was really fun and intimate in a way. Working with George Miller is exquisite. Gloria is different from anything I've ever played before. The first time I saw the characters in the studio I remember thinking that Mumble looked just like Elijah, with such a cute and endearing face. I don't think Gloria looks that much like me.
To give Tinker Bell a voice for the first time in history is such an honor.
I've been trained in dancing and I used to be quite good, though I am a bit rusty right now. But I could probably brush up in a couple of months.
Home is where my mom is.
My singing voice isn't like my speaking voice.
It blows my mind the way Frank Miller can write.
