People ask me, 'Is being a parent the be-all, end-all?' And I say, 'Oh, it definitely is up to the person, and it is difficult, it can be very difficult, and it can be extremely healing.' That's what I have found, that the children are mirrors. Everyone is a mirror, but children especially because they're day and night and all day long.

To deserve this fate what have I ever done?... All I want is just a little piece of mind but the angels won't have it.

Cancer's like the ultimate excuse. Who's gonna say, 'Oh, no, you have to show up for this one?' 'Hey, I got cancer. I can't be there.' It's the ultimate eraser.

Empty and cold, but it keep me alive. I gave it my soul, so that I could survive.

We all want to judge; it's an intrinsic part of our society and human nature. I'm not surprised that talent shows are hits, but I'm glad some of them aren't so brutal.

I hope that you know in your heart how you feel about things, and you don't let the people that live on fear and hate govern the way you live.

I'm not one for big public displays of affection, anyway. Straight, gay, whatever.
