Particularly conservative Christians, I was very angry that they were not involved more in the AIDS emergency.

It is impossible to meet God without abandon, without exposing yourself, being raw.

You've got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.

Even though I'm a believer, I still find it really hard to be around other believers. They make me nervous, they make me twitch. I sorta watch my back.

The strangest thing has happened. I really missed my dog. That's never happened to me before. You know, on a long tour you do hear people saying they miss their pets. I never have. But last night I started really missing my dog. It's very odd, 'cause I don't have a dog.

When those people get up at the Grammys and say, "I thank God", I always imagine God going, "Oh, don't, please don't thank me for that one. Please, oh, that's an awful one! Don't thank me for that - that's a piece of crap !"

Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.
