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

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

I think people are a little bit intimidated by me. You know, I'm not exactly a wilting flower, so I think they're a little bit scared of me sometimes.

I tend to go against the grain because when I start to see that everybody's trying to shock, I try not to. I just do stuff that's subtler, more emotional, and I think that shocks people.

The real terrorist threats are George W. Bush and his band of brown-shirted thugs.

There are so few women in general who aren't completely threatened and confused by other women's success. It's very disappointing.

I don't like going back and listening to myself. It makes me uncomfortable, and I know I can never emulate what I did that night, so why listen to it?
