I'm so close to Heaven, this Hell cannot be mine.

I've been a rock star since you were very young. But I've never encountered anything as powerful as cancer.

Laughing is a medicine. It releases this amazing stuff.

My friends have always told me that rock stardom was wasted on me.

My kids and I love to listen to Bill Cosby.

My ultimate joy and happiness is being a wife and mother.

My wife works harder than anyone else with the children around the house. I make the money, sure, but she does everything else.

Once I overcame breast cancer, I wasn't afraid of anything anymore.

Our great Constitution challenges us to grow constantly.

Our society, where we are right now, our minds are junkyards. We watch TV and sit on the computer all day and barely have an original thought.

Realizing I was gay was a long sort of waking up.

The songs are inspired by my experiences. Sometimes they are more than my real-life and, conversely, my life is more than just my songs.

The subject and the reality of having children came at the height of my career.

There is no fear when you choose love. The more you choose love, the more love is in your life. It gets easier and easier.

Weight isn't a factor in nutritional health.

What I do believe in is other worlds and spirits. There is some other power in control - levels of energy that perhaps we don't see.

What people don't get is that hair is such a big part of our identity.

When I grew up, there were no songs about gay people.

Your own personal health is your own personal choice, all the way down the line.

Cancer's like the ultimate excuse. Who's gonna say, 'Oh, no, you have to show up for this one?' 'Hey, I got cancer. I can't be there.' It's the ultimate eraser.
