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.

Gay people are born everyday. You will never legislate that away.

In country music, there are certain female artists, like Gretchen Wilson, where you're going to find lesbians because they're responding to that more aggressive side.

I would never say I had a bad childhood at all.

Weight isn't a factor in nutritional health.

I have found that I'm just political just by being who I am.

What I do believe in is other worlds and spirits. There is some other power in control - levels of energy that perhaps we don't see.
