By the second tour I had rice cakes and hummus with me, and I was jumping rope in my room.

I love drag queens... they perform me better than I ever could myself.

Love the woods and nature and the water and animals. Stop the BS with poaching and hunting. Preservation is critical.

I think I was perceived in one fashion. A video is based on a song. I think you can get glimpses of people's presence within that. There's some people you enjoy watching more than others.

Emotional pain makes me want to isolate. Or hit back. It's very tough to rise above my natural inclinations. I'm always working on this.

The best argument is an undeniably good book.

There is an abundance of misinformation, exaggeration, and blatant lies being spread by interest groups regarding the prospects for embryonic stem cell research.
