I certainly wish Gov. Palin no harm. I'd just like her to explain to me how she can hold such outrageous views...and then go back to Alaska.

That disturbs people when they know they didn't have the guts or integrity to stick to their dreams.

I'll take on somebody if they're offending the entire culture, not just offending me.

I don't want someone coming in and passing judgment on my life.

When I was really little, I was skinny and people laughed at me for being skinny, so, we all pay our dues for the bodies we're in one way or another. But thank god I haven't needed to alter it to feel good about myself.

People feel like if they don't have a voice or a name or the spotlight, then they're invisible. But if you can't wake up in your world, in your life, with your family and your friends, and enjoy it, then forget it. All bets are off, because that's all anybody is guaranteed.

There are few performers who would have had the audacity to even bring up the fact that they had been poorly reviewed.
