What people don't get is that hair is such a big part of our identity.

There are many plant medicines that are available to us that have a lot of stigma around them that I hope, in the future, our medical community can look at, because I would absolutely go to those alternatives first before I went back to Western medicine.

When I grew up, there were no songs about gay people.

I had to go see the Glee concert with my daughter - oh my God, shoot me.

I can be a rock star with a television show and still have a self-esteem problem. So it's nice to have your dad go, 'Hey Melissa, I'm proud of you - you're doing good.'

I could have been you, you could have been me. One small change that shapes your destiny.

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