He had just walked out of the back where they keep the shoes and I walked in and he walked in and it was like yeah. I kept buying shoes and I would come back and say do you have these? Like a couple days later, what shoes do you have in my size? Great can you order these and I will come back and get them in three days. Slowly but surely I had just decided everyone would get shoes for Christmas this year.
Kimberly Elise interview

Today is her birthday, she would have been 104. So to me, Josephine Baker did so much for black women in entertainment so if her [Rihanna] wearing this gets us to talk a little bit about Josephine today, more power to her.

And you know it’s going to be a very small wedding out in East Hampton in the backyard with friends and family. I still don’t know what I will be wearing. I need to get on that, right.

But I get to play this really cool guy on Glee who is kinda in this political social attached to it that I happen to be personally invested in anyway. It’s like putting on a super hero costume everyday.
