There's nothing I need from anyone except love and respect, and anyone who can't give me those two things has no place in my life.

I have a lot of faith in President Obama. The thing that seems to be true of him is that he doesn't speak when you would expect him to speak. He's very measured in his response to things. He likes to get all the facts first before he shoots his mouth off. It makes me crazy; it makes a lot of people crazy.

I burned out on AIDS and did no AIDS work for a couple of years. I was so angry that people were still getting this disease that nobody can give you - you have to go out and get it!

Nothing binds a people to their leader like a common enemy. Voters don’t change governments during war.

I actually pray everyday, but I don't believe in God.

A child's kiss is magic. Why else would they be so stingy with them?
