I've become this sort of icon for the gay community. I don't like the position.

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

I'm very much a humanist. I'm very much pro-choice. I'm very much politically correct.

I think Bush is amateurish and self-serving, and frankly, it's disgusting.

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.

At some point, the pride has to be a part of the whole day-to-day oeuvre. It's part of who you are and doesn't need to be discussed anymore.

I'm not saying I'm some high priestess. I do things, I'm sure, that are damaging, but it's certainly not on purpose.
