When I became of service to other people I stopped worrying about my weight so much.

It makes me so angry - there's enough food in the world but people are starving. It's all political.

If you want to be a star, don't bother doing it because it ends up being very empty.

We all have our own closets to come out of

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

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