There will always be men struggling to change, and there will always be those who are controlled by the past.

Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?

Question everything. Every stripe, every star, every word spoken. Everything.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'
