I grew up in the Deep South, where sexism, racism, and homophobia were and still are alive and well. I have early, early memories of words and actions of this type being very painful.

I've always hated criminals and crime. Life is hard enough without someone walking into your life on purpose and making it worse.

I'm super-obsessed with law enforcement. I'm what you'd call a 'cop fan.

I did not grow up watching much TV and film. I had a very, very, very, very, very, very church family, and a lot of, like, secular stuff was not around my house.

Love is for friends & pets...and family...only if they really love you as unconditionally as your friends and pets.

In the women's movement, women needed men to stand up and say, 'This isn't right.' In the civil rights of the '60s, it took people of all color to demand equal rights.

My absolute favorite movie of all time is Pink Floyd's 'The Wall.' Nothing compares to it. I have seen it thousands of times and still watch it every few weeks.
