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

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.

I have that gene mutation too and it’s not something I would believe in for myself. I wouldn’t call it the brave choice. I actually think it’s the most fearful choice you can make when confronting anything with cancer. My belief is that cancer comes from inside you and so much of it has to do with the environment of your body. It’s the stress that will turn that gene on or not.

Realizing I was gay was a long sort of waking up.

I taught Brad Pitt how to fly-fish in my swimming pool!

I have days when I say, 'I'm going to have five chocolate chip cookies today.' I'll have a salad every day but every week I have a cheat day.

I was constantly around all those religious images and to me, angels exist. I feel we were definitely guided and helped and I'm always referring to them in my work.
