Before, I just spewed whatever it was I thought about everything. I tend to be more contemplative now

I love comedy, because I like making fun of things even though they are dramatic.

I think self-exploration is one of the journeys in life that we are blessed to be able to have.

I'm always honest, whether I'm in the limelight or not.

It's no secret that my family was very, very poor, and I don't want that for my life or my children's life certainly. But some might say I could relax a bit more and know that that's not going to happen to me. I'm not going to end up in a car.

And for anyone who ever thought that Ellen and I broke it off because of sexuality, you couldn't be more mistaken. And for anyone who thought my mother's prayers had anything to do with me marrying a man, forget it.

I'm very grateful for the platform that I've had in my life to speak out about the things I care about.
