If I've learned anything in my 30s, it's about holding back a little bit.

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 get happier every day. I have a sense of accomplishment every day of my life.

Of course, everybody's family is dysfunctional - we've accepted that. What are we supposed to do? Hate our parents for the rest of our lives?

When you have a knowledge of history, it's very soothing. When there's continuity in your life, it's soothing.

I don't need to be redundant to the gay community about what's wrong and what isn't happening for them.

I'm studying Kabbalah, which is really the essence of Jewish spirituality.
