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

I was different and people made fun of me.

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

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

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

I know what it feels like to be an outsider.

I love being able to make people laugh.
