I love being able to make people laugh.

I've always felt that celebrity was wonderful for a lot of the perks that it could give you

The more we can purge ourselves of the diseases we create the more we can become magnificent people

I wish we lived in a society that made it safe and provided the courage for everyone to come out.

I found that the body, mind and spirit are all connected. They are not separate pieces.

Yet I've discovered that how I look is not a function of anything as ephemeral as my hair

To me, celebrity doesn't mean a whole lot unless you're willing to use it. So I wanted to use it in a different way, with my AIDS work, the human rights stuff for the gay and lesbian community and the speaking I do
