Purim, one of my favorite holidays. It's like the original drag queen's holiday. It's when all the Jewish men go for it and feel no guilt for a change.

People want to be famous, they want to be loved, they want to be accepted. They want to push aside their past and the things that have been embarrassing to them.

I didn't belong when I was in high school. Now people are trying to buy lips.

You can't just try to be a performer. It's in your DNA. I really believe that it's either what you are or it's not at all.

As a kid, I loved being loved, and still do. Who doesn't love being loved?

I was really going through a transition in my life. I was tired of feeling victimized by my career.

I was looking for something within Judaism that had a spiritual nature and not just a religious nature. So my trainer at the time was the one who took me to the Kabbalah center on my 40th birthday. I was like, "Oh, this is so cool." I was just ready for it. I was ready for something different.
