Some People Are Medicating Themselves All The Time So That They Don't Have To Embrace Themselves. If You Can't Feel, You Can't Embrace.

If I Have To Be The Person Who Opens The Door For Women To Believe And Understand And Embrace The Idea That They Can Be Sexual And Look Good And Be As Relevant In Their 50s Or Their 60s As They Were In Their 20s, Then So Be It.

It's Not Easy Having A Good Marriage--but I Don't Want Easy. Easy Doesn't Make You Grow. Easy Doesn't Make You Think. I Thank God Everyday That I Am Married To A Man Who Makes Me Think. That's My Definition Of True Love.

I Think After Time Goes By And You Earn Certain Rights Or You Break Through Certain Barriers, You Could Sometimes, Maybe, Take It For Granted What You Have Now That You Didn't Have Before. And Then That Would Lead To A Certain Lack Of Community, In A Way, Caring In A Way, That I Saw Before [in Gay Society].

If We Can Elect An African American As President, We Can Support Gay Marriage! Defeat Prop 8! We Will Not Give Up!

I Pay Attention To What's Going On Around Me. I'm Always Looking For New Energy, New Talent, New Voices. When You Do That I Think It's Easier To Come Up With Fresh Ideas. It's Not That My Career Has Been Based On Surprising People, But It's Been About Challenging Myself - To Constantly Do New Things That Are Going To Broaden My Own Mind And In The Process, Hopefully, Connect With Other People.

I Am Rich And Famous. I Have A Talented And Gorgeous Husband And Two Beautiful Children. I Could Go On.

I Wanted To Know Why People Follow Rules Blindly, Or Why Girls Had To Act A Certain Way And Boys Didn't. Why Could Boys Ask Girls Out And Girls Not Ask Guys Out? Why Did Girls Have To Shave Their Legs And Guys Didn't? Why Did Society, Like, Set Everything Up The Way They Did? My Whole Adolescence Was Full Of Unanswered Whys. Because They Never Got Answered, I Just Kept Lighting Fires Everywhere - Metaphorically Speaking.

One Set Of Circumstances Does Not Complete You. Maybe Nothing Ever Does. So You Work On Your Life And You Work On Your 'work' And You Try To Live Every Single Day Like It's Your Last. And You Try To Be Better, To Yourself And To Others. I Don't Always Succeed. But I Try And It's My Goal.

Trying To Be A Professional Dancer, Paying My Rent By Posing Nude For Art Classes, Staring At People Staring At Me Naked.

Everyone Has A Self-destructive Nature In Them. It's Whether You Feed It Or Not. You Don't Have To Be A Pop Star To Feel Connected To Destruction Or Self-destruction.

And If You Have A Spiritual Life, You're Constantly Being Asked To See Yourself As One Small Fragment In The Bigger Picture.

People Think That Being Famous Is Just About Having Your Picture Taken All The Time And Being Rich Rich Rich, And You Know What?... They're Absolutely Right.

I Think It's Just That As A Creative Person, In All The Different Things That I've Done Or Ways That I've Found To Express Myself, I've Consistently Come Up Against Resistance In Certain Areas. I Think That The World Is Not Comfortable With Female Sexuality. It's Always Coming From A Male Point Of View, And A Woman Is Being Objectified By A Man - And Even Women Are Comfortable With That.

There's A Certain Satisfaction In A Little Bit Of Pain.

Obviously, I Feel A Great Sense Of Responsibility Being A Good Parent And Raising My Children. I Don't Take That Job Very Lightly. Who They Are, What They Become And What They Contribute To The World Is Very Important To Me.

I've Always Wanted To Be Taller. I Feel Like A Shrimp, But That's The Way It Goes. I'm Five-foot Four-and-a-half-inches - That's Actually Average. Everything About Me Is Average. Everything's Normal, In The Books. It's The Things Inside Me That Make Me Not Average.

I Do See That The World That We Live In Is Collapsing To A Certain Extent, And Civilization As We Know It Is Caving In On Itself. I Believe That We Are At A Very Low Level Of Consciousness, And We Do Not Know How To Treat Each Other As Human Beings. We Are Caught Up In Our Own Lives, Our Own Needs, Our Own Ego Gratification. I Feel A Strong Sense Of Responsibility In Delivering That Message.
