I grew up not really having anything so the idea that I can take care of my family and my friends now is a really cool bonus.

What people don't understand is joining a gang ain't bad it's cool it's fine. When you in the hood joining a gang it's cool because all your friends are in the gang all your family's in the gang. We're not just killing people every night we're just hanging out having a good time.

Cricket makes no sense to me. I find it beautiful to watch and I like that they break for tea. That is very cool but I don't understand. My friends from The Clash tried to explain it years and years ago but I didn't understand what they were talking about.

Prominence is cool but when the delusion kicks in it can be a drag. Especially if you choose to surround yourself with friends and not acolytes.

Kids are finding out about the potential for discovery online from other sources many of them have computers at home for instance or their friends have them.

Music is the social act of communication among people a gesture of friendship the strongest there is.

I spent a lot of years on the road and what happens is you find out who your real friends are and you find out where your strengths and weaknesses lie in communication. I've had the same friends for 20 years now and I can count them on one hand.

As far as friendships go things change even without the fame. People start moving on. I have a few friends that are married and are starting to have kids and I'm like 'Oh my goodness gracious - that's so insane.' I also have friends who are just doing their own thing which is cool.

People can undergo a sudden change of thinking and loyalties under threat of death or intense social pressure and isolation from friends and family.

When you go off in the world and make your life and you come back to your home town and you find your old high-school friends driving in the same circles doing the same things that's what Hollywood's like. It's a little block little town. It doesn't really grow or change.

I was away from the front lines for a while this spring living with other troops and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them.

I change my mind so much I need two boyfriends and a girlfriend.

I just think that sometimes we hang onto people or relationships long after they've ceased to be of any use to either of you. I'm always meeting new people and my list of friends seems to change quite a bit.

You can change friends but not neighbours.

It's good for everyone to understand that they are to love their enemies simply because your enemies show you things about yourself you need to change. So in actuality enemies are friends in reverse.

Science arose from poetry... when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.

I sing both in my shower and in my car mostly in my car because I have this weird thing - whenever I'm singing to the radio - my friends kind of hate it - but I pick out the harmonies in my head and I'm singing the harmonies to the tracks and I'm jamming it out.

After wrestling with myself for six months I began medical treatment. During that time I started a band with some friends of mine called Jack's Car but that didn't last.

In real life one of my friends was killed in a car accident during our sophomore year.

These songs are old friends I have entertained myself with when I'm washing the dishes driving to the store and walking down the aisles. The ones that you sing when you're driving in the car and as a singer you always go back to them.

It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13 sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager rather than as a present parent.

I love Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert - they write from the heart. But it's hard to find a country music lover in L.A. None of my friends really listen to it and they hate getting in the car with me because I just blast Taylor Swift.

Yes I did and a lot of my friends who are in the same program as I were very much supportive and the most important thing they said to me is do not let this interfere with what you have to do in taking car of yourself. That was the most important thing.

The year most of my high school friends and I got our driver's permits the coolest thing one could do was stand outside after school and twirl one's car keys like a lifeguard whistle. That jingling sound meant freedom and power.
