My father was a proctologist and my mother was an abstract artist, so that's how I view the world.

Onstage, I'm still wearing my fabulous, sheer dresses because I'm not that big.

I love performing. I love being a provocateur. I love putting myself in situations that are uncomfortable and that I have to get out of.

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

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.

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

I really thought I wanted to be a musical-comedy star, but I lived in Phoenix and didn't want to go all the way to New York and be that far away from home. So I thought maybe I'd be a rock 'n' roll singer or an opera singer.
