My mom played the recorder. But not having electricity we had minimal exposure to music. As I got a little older we had Walkmans and things that were battery-powered but it would have been nice to be growing up in the iPod era. A tape only has six songs on a side.

Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.

Men become much more attractive when they start looking older. But it doesn't do much for women though we do have an advantage: make-up.

I say I never wanna get married. I feel trapped with the idea of marriage. How can you really be with somebody forever? I'd get bored! As I get older I don't settle. I'd rather tell somebody 'This is what I want - take it or leave it.'

I don't know why but the older I get the more interested I get in my parents' marriage. And it's interesting to be married yourself too because there is an inevitable comparison.

My older sister was at the cusp of new wave and I had older brothers from my father's first marriage who were rock 'n' roll guys so I was exposed to a lot of popular culture.

Marriage is a bribe to make the housekeeper think she's a householder.

Young love is a flame very pretty often very hot and fierce but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals deep-burning unquenchable.

As I got older I really got into Tupac's poetry his books and just learning about his life and what he was into.

My number one goal was not getting 'A's' - and I proved it. I was a 'C' student. You have to be ready to learn. If you're not interesting in learning it doesn't work. As I grew older and wanted to learn and desperately wanted inside information learning was a lot easier.
