The most important, overriding arc of my career has been that I would never be self-deprecating.

I hate to judge everybody across the board.

Not everybody is cookie-cutter. You just can't be. There are too many variables in life.

At no time do I come from a cynical point of view. I'm coming from a concerned point of view.

I think everybody is covering their [posteriors] with the Enron scandal and it was very convenient that Sept. 11 came along to deflect the fact that they should never have been in the White House in the first place. What happened in the election was completely corrupt.

For most of my relationships, I would have liaisons, and I would feel guilty.

Once you're heterosexual and comfortable with that, you don't need to take out an announcement every day.
