We're very privileged as Americans - it's easy to forget about the rest of the world and to think that your problems are the most important problems. Even poor people in America live better than poor people most everywhere else.

I've created a very unconventional family. I have lovers who are three decades younger than me. This makes people very uncomfortable.

You took a poison arrow and you aimed it at my heart. It's heavy and it's bitter, and it's tearing me apart.

Education is not a luxury, it is a basic human right.

I fear the future I wish for my children is at risk, so I'm taking action. Please join me.

On any given night, catch me on the floor, working up a sweat, that’s what music’s for.

I am because we are. We all bleed the same color. We all want to love and be loved.
