I was the star of the choir.

My mom doesn't get the whole gay thing, but she loves me.

I was the star of the choir.

All things just keep getting better.

When Queer Eye hit, the church told my mom they were praying for me. She said, God loves him too. And I support him 100 percent.

I know I'm on a small cable reality show. I'm realistic where I stand in the scheme of things.

I have no apologies.

I like bringing smiles to people's faces.

My mother thought me being gay was a death sentence.

I have to stay humble. I'm just a normal human with a job that is televised.

The number of Latino roles is very limited, and it's unfortunate there isn't more color-blind casting.

It's interesting to see how we are all uniquely different.

Not everyone is nice and good to work with or grateful for the experience.

At the beginning of each year, we have conceptual meetings. How are we going to challenge ourselves this year? So we suggested a transsexual or transgender. And to be honest, I am shocked they let us do it.

I've been looking forward to doing an album, but it's really sad to see how many doors have been closed because of the gay thing. I thought it was about the music.

As the universe accepted our show, more people began to accept me.

I'm more of a culture hummingbird.

I was raised thinking I'd burn in hell for being gay, but I didn't have a choice. It's just who I am.

I had said to some pastor that I was having thoughts, and the church turned on me. They went to my mom and said, So sorry about your son.

I consider myself gay because at the end of the night, that's who I want to cuddle with. But when I go out, I go to straight clubs.

I've done the gay, over-the-top guy. I want to jump into another show where I wear pants for the majority of the time.

Our show is about starting over.

Just because you are out doesn't make you the poster boy for the gay community.

I was raised thinking Id burn in hell for being gay but I didnt have a choice. Its just who I am.

All the truly great stand-ups say, 'I go onstage, and I work on jokes. The inspiration will happen while I'm doing my work.' To me, in the end, the surest thing is work.

I just focus on one show, when this is over then I'll start looking at what is coming up.

I don't believe that songwriting has to be profound, but I truly believe that it's a crime for you to go outta your way for it not to be.

I have family that are vets of the military. My grandfather served as well.

I'm pretty good at surprising friends and family with gifts. I tend to go towards the more sentimental side of giving.

I never set out really to build a financial empire or to be a wealthy man.

The Sixties was all about style and a certain look. But what was interesting about 1963 was that it was pre-Beatles, so the clothes of that time, especially the suits, were very different from the clothes post-Beatlemania.

A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate.

I'm terrible at horror movies, by the way. I get scared so easily.

I am sick and tired of the process where everybody tells you that Indian companies don't have the technology and capability. We need to put money where our mouth is and make things happen, and that is what we are trying to do.

Establish character - otherwise, it is difficult to connect with what is frightening.

I can eat healthy when I want to, and I can work out every single day, and I can have the body for a certain runway show if I need to, but that doesn't mean that I'm doing it in an unhealthy way.

I think for a young journalist, it's better to write for the Web at the moment than it is for print.

Sadism is not an infectious disease that strikes a person all of a sudden. It has a long prehistory in childhood and always originates in the desperate fantasies of a child who is searching for a way out of a hopeless situation.

They remember me as this shy girl sitting under the table. But they obviously didn't know what was going on in my head.

President Obama, like every other leader on Earth, is still going to be looking out for national and economic interests. States don't cease to be states overnight just because they get a great visionary as their new president.

In 2006, I started making a film called 'Restraint of Beasts.' While I was making it, I had a personal disaster. My wife fell ill, so we stopped shooting halfway through. And then sadly, my wife died.

I don't suppose I'll ever retire completely.

I don't think the Port Authority does a good enough job in anything that they do, quite honestly, but clearly in the area of security. Those cops get paid more than N.Y.P.D. cops, and quite honestly - I know I'm going to get into trouble for saying this - they're nothing more than mall cops.

We are still behaving as if a worker really doesn't have a family because the work pattern really was meant for men who really were the financial support but weren't looking after their families. We need to change this, and we can easily do that.

Writing is hard, hard work; that's just the way it is.

I don't decide to represent anything except myself. But that self is full of collective memory.
