Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.

My parents are very funny when they have to deal with anything racy or off-color. They usually pretend they don't speak English.

I could never make a joke about somebody unless I could say it to their face and they'd laugh.

Some people are that - more than a parent, more than a role model, more than anything less than a religion.

When people think the world of you, be careful with them.

As a child, I had a lot of older gay men taking care of me. There's a trust there. I feel like little girls and old gay men together - there's a safety. They make a shield from all of the bad things they've experienced in the world. They make a home together. There are no songs about that. I don't know if you remember, but there was a show a long time ago called 'Love, Sidney.'

I have permanent damage to my body because I wanted to be thin.
