But music is probably still the biggest part of my life. To me, it's the most brilliant of the arts, the force that is the most influential in all cultures. You feel music.

As a child, I loved Motown, soul, and R&B. It has to have that funk flavor. I can appreciate all kinds, but I think I am really lyric-oriented. It drives me crazy when I buy a CD and there are no lyrics inside! It's like, "What do you think -- people don't listen to the words anymore?" Music is the only thing that heals or fixes, and it's the only thing that allows you to remember things. You can listen to an old song, like "Brick House," and you say, "Oh, God, I know exactly where I was when I first heard that song." Certain songs remind you of who you loved at that time. It's like a drug. And it's the best drug.

4. La Perla Thongs

I think the thong is the greatest invention. The day the thong was invented, sunshine broke through the clouds. Look, I love the all-cotton grannies. They're great. But you can wear them with only so many things, because they cut your butt cheeks into four pieces and you go, "Oh my God, everyone is seeing my panty lines." Everyone is so hypersensitive to visible panty lines! It's weird. There's a scene in a movie I'm doing where I wake up in bed, and all I have on is a thong and a T-shirt, and another character says, "I don't understand how you can wear those strings up your ass crack!" But the thong has to be cut right. Now there's the band kind, which is very cutting and uncomfortable, but the key there is in the material, the quality. La Perla is for special occasions. I mean, you don't want to wear that all the time, because you want to feel special when you put it on. And if a man buys you La Perla? That's pretty sexy.
