Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways.

I really appreciate my performing so much better, as I get older. I don't take it for granted anymore. I really relish it and love it.

I was never told a thing about sex. So I was very naive, as were my friends as well. But I - me so especially.

If people are encouraged to come out and say they're HIV-positive and they're given their treatments, then obviously, the people who are marginalized - like intravenous drug users, prisoners, people are made to feel less-than - if they're given the support of the government, and they're given the funding, then it's going to help solve the spread of AIDS and HIV in America.
