I love watching keep-fit videos while munching chocolate chip cookies.

People just relate to me. They know I'm a regular person brought up in a hardworking, poor family, that I've had all the struggles that people have. I'm just a friendly person. And I hopefully have a good sense of humor. People get a kick out of my stupidity.

We give scholarships to high school kids and a new library of books to every preschool child in the county where I was born. I didn't have books at home so I did all my reading at school. I love books and I believe that helping kids to read gives them a great start in life.

God knows when the end of time will come, not some fanatic... The world will end someday, but the end of the world and the end of time are two different things.

I don't like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I'm kind of a hands-on type of person.

Having a big gay following, I get hate mail and threats. Some people are blind or ignorant, and you can't be that prejudiced and hateful and go through this world and still be happy.

I look at myself like a show dog. I've got to keep her clipped and trimmed and in good shape.
