I don't think somebody can just, like, wave a magic wand and make you a star.

In the late '60s and '70s, when feminism was on the up sweep, there was an awareness of things that we're losing again.

Barbara Bush has her finger on the pulse of America. Im so glad shes back and more compassionate than ever, ... Thats right, of course people just sat around New Orleans, boring, uninspired, soulless New Orleans, and dreamed of someday relocating to the Astrodome. Oh, dear Lord, if only I could leave my unhappy existence and head on up to wonderful Houston and live with my friends side by side in a spacious football stadium, my life would be so much richer and complete.

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.

Gay pride's beautiful. If somebody needs to be expressing that, then it's a positive thing.

I feel like you've gotta be able to get up every night in front of a live audience. Whether it's 10 people or 50 people or a hundred people, whether you're in a rock band or doing the comedy circuit.

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