“By the time I got to college, I was cutting hair for all my broke frie...” — Heidi Gardner Quote

“By the time I got to college, I was cutting hair for all my broke friends. I was a little lost with what I wanted to do with my life, so I thought, 'Maybe if I drop out and move to L.A. to do hair, that'll sound cooler than just dropping out.'”

“It's really cheesy, but even with style, I would say to follow your heart and maybe even the things that you liked as a kid or that you were drawn to. I always find that those are the things that make me the most happy.”

“I was super into movies and pop culture. But I learned that although there are classes at KU where all you have to do is go and watch a movie, I still skipped those. What was wrong with me? They couldn't have designed the schedule better. 'Hey, you get to watch a classic movie and don't have to go until 6 P.M.' And, yet, I'm still gonna skip it.”

“A lot of rappers think they better than me because they saw me broke, going in and out of studios, and couldn't pay for studio time.”

“I broke a lot of conventions. Look, I spent a long time as an actor. I spent a lot of time playing pretty ordinary arcs.”

“Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you'll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash.”
