I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican-I'm an American, I'm a human.

I wish I had a great relationship with my mother.

Being born in Kansas City, Missouri and raised in the very rural parts of Kansas led me to believe that everything was simple, everything made sense and that anything was possible.

I'd like my writing to be recognized with a Grammy.

As a young girl, there were the obvious messages about what girls could and couldn't achieve. And to compound the limitations I felt being leveled upon me, I realized at the age of nine, that I was gay.

I've saved every dime I've made in my life.

I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican-I'm an American, I'm a human.
