I'm completely comfortable with gay marriage.

The military is already sexually integrated.

The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human.

I don't know why someone else's marriage has anything to do with me.

You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces - my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined.

To be perfectly frank, there is an odd place after losing a child, where you think somehow your life is worth less.

If people think that you're throwing babies out, dissecting children, to do stem-cell research, I'm not for that.
