To keep your secret is wisdom; but to expect others to keep it is folly.

I don't talk about my personal life in the press; that's how I kept my wedding a secret.

I was sort of traumatized by girls in the third grade. Because there was a girl in my third grade class I had a crush on. I bought her a box of Valentine's Day chocolate.

There's a time in your life where you're not quite sure where you are. You think everything's perfect, but it's not perfect...
