A man is commanding - a woman is demanding. A man is forceful - a woman is pushy. A man is uncompromising - a woman is a ball-breaker. A man is a perfectionist - a woman's a pain in the ass. He's assertive - she's aggressive. He strategizes - she manipulates. He shows leadership - she's controlling. He's committed - she's obsessed. He's persevering - she's relentless. He sticks to his guns - she's stubborn. If a man wants to get it right, he's looked up to and respected. If a woman wants to get it right, she's difficult and impossible.

Why is it people who want the truth never believe it when they hear it?

I like simple things. Elastic waists, so I can eat.

I wasn't supported, I wasn't given any self-esteem.

He (son Jason) doesn't see me as a (gay) icon, he sees me as his mother who touches his hair too much. No, I love being an icon to anybody. Equal rights, you know?

I also have intense relationships with furniture... probably because we practically had none when I was growing up.

My mother told me I should be a secretary, but I wanted to be an actress from when I was very young.
