“Women in music can be a lot more than just the midriff, the bellybutton, the bleached hair, the lip-synching. I wanted to make a statement that women in music can be sexy and alluring and fabulous and hop and cool and be about music, just the music.”

"Everybody who could afford one, had a slave, including people of color. The way people talk about slavery these days, you’d think it was a uniquely American thing that we invented in 1619 — but slavery throughout history has been the rule, not the exception. The Sumerians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, Romans, the Arabs, British, the early Americans - all the way up through R. Kelly."
"The world slave comes from Slav, because so many Slavic people were enslaved — and they’re as white as the Hallmark Channel.”

What I struggle with in terms of cancel culture is the term cancel culture — the whole concept behind canceling a human being, like they’re an appointment. No person will not make mistakes in their life. The point of being alive is figuring it out. Hurting other people, harming other people is not okay. There are consequences for those actions.
But the concept of the Twitterverse deciding if someone just all of a sudden doesn’t exist anymore is horrifying, heartbreaking and wrong. I do think that it will pass. I believe that people want to live in a better world, ultimately. Also, Twitter makes up like, what, 12 percent of the world? I mean, some of these people can’t even spell.”

The problem I have with the term misinformation, especially today is that many of the things that we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now accepted as fact, like, for instance, eight months ago, if you said, ‘if you get vaccinated, you can still catch COVID and you can still spread COVID,’ you’d be removed from social media, they would they would ban you from certain platforms. Now, that’s accepted as fact. If you said, I don’t think cloth masks work, you would be banned from social media. Now that’s openly and repeatedly stated on CNN. If you said I think it’s possible that COVID-19 came from a lab, you’d be banned from many social media platforms – now that’s on the cover of Newsweek. All of those theories that at one point in time were banned, were openly discussed by those two men that I had on my podcast that had been accused of dangerous misinformation.”

Dwarf actor Dylan Postl on Peter Dnklage calling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs offensive
"When Peter Dinklage was cast as a little person role in Lord of the Rings or in a Game of Thrones or in Elf or this that or the other thing... those checks cashed just fine. Now he wants to be progressive? Come on man.
It's not helping our community it's taking jobs away from our community that are very few and far between as it is. We are in a society and a time of woke and progression and I get that - to an extent- but this is a fairytale."
This is a fairytale about Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Dwarves are one of the focuses - they are literally in the title. The story is now "Snow White and the Seven Normal Sized People." It's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Also, they all each have their own individual characteristics, they look after Snow White, they're the heroes. This is a good thing!"

"There are white people who are not as powerful as the system of white people — the caste system that's been put in place — but they still, no matter where they are on the rung, or the ladder of success, they still have their whiteness," Winfrey said in the viral video. Whites have a leg up. You still have your whiteness. That's what the term 'white privilege' is. It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter. It is the fundamental issue."

Sarah Jessica Parker on "thuggish" photographers following her every day
"(It's a) culture of thuggery. I feel very ashamed. I feel like I'm, like, the town trollop. It makes me feel ashamed of my work. And I'm not. But I'm attached to this culture now in a way that it's kind of vulgar. And I feel cheapened. And I feel like I'm cheapening (my son's) school, like I'm bringing dirt; like I'm bad for the neighbourhood.".

Bobby Brown on why Whitney Houston married him
"(The marriage was) was doomed from the very beginning. Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married. I believe her agenda was to clean up her image, while mine was to be loved and have children.
The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant, Robin Crawford. Since she was the American Sweetheart, that didn't go too well with her image. In Whitney's situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids. That would kill all speculation. I think I got caught up in the politics and ended up marrying one of the biggest stars in the world".

The actors that turn into idiots are the ones that start believing it’s because they deserve it, not because they’re just not trusted, which is the truth. The truth is actors are flaky, unreliable and mostly unstable people, and they need to be mollycoddled at all times.”
