Love is the key we must turn, truth is the flame we must burn.

I have a lot of money stashed away, but I do live my life from day to day.

When we started, I was delivering meals to people in Atlanta. We were a direct-care organization. And it was - people needed meals, they needed transport, they needed medication, they needed buddy systems. They had a death sentence. There was AZT, and that was just prolonging the agony, basically. Now people, of course, if they are on antiretrovirals, they face a lifetime of health, basically. I mean, it doesn't - it's I would say in the 99 percent certainty bracket that if you are on that medication, you will have a healthy life.

I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East -- you're as good as dead.

You can cage the songbird, but you can't make her sing. And you can trap the free bird, but you'll have to clip her wings.

I guess that's why they call it the blues, time on my hands could be time spent with you.

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.
