To be acknowledged for who and what I am, no more, no less. Not for acclaim, not for approval, but, the simple truth of that recognition. This has been the elemental drive of my existence, and it must be achieved, if I am to live or die with dignity.

I met Jonah Lomu. I never knew how huge he was. I felt like a peasant in a Godzilla movie. 'Quickly! Tell the other villagers! We go now!'

I love to ride my bike, which is great aerobics, but also just a great time for me to think, so it's like this terrific double bill.

How much more can you give? Other than, literally, open-heart surgery onstage? Not much. But the only cure you have right now is the honesty of going, this is who you are. I know who I am.

Mickey Mouse to a three-year-old is a six-foot-tall RAT!

I love being backstage, or doing littler things like Blame Canada.
