Be true to yourself, and, um, don't worry about some large companies' quarterly profit index.

I don't want to live in a culture of despair. I'd like to live in a culture of hope.

I've had a large gay following for many years and have been quite aware of that.

I don't have a lot of thrilling anecdotes about my career or personal life. All the stuff that is interesting is private and I wouldn't want people to know.

I don't think women's prisons are environments for dance routines, and I don't think mass murder is humorous.
