Having a big gay following, I get hate mail and threats.
I have got little feet because nothing grows in the shade
I have a person who works in my organization who once was a woman and now is a man. I didn't know for years that this person had had a sex change. I know what a wonderful person he is, and I based some of my feelings (in the song) on my feelings for him and on knowing what he went through.
I feel like I'm fighting a battle when I didn't start a war
In all seriousness, I have a very fine husband - a true gentleman who respects women.
I think 9/11 affected everybody in one way or another.
Hopefully now that we're older we'll have to settle down. Maybe when we're old women we'll do a third one. We are old women.
When I'm home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we're not cooking, we travel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry.
I want to go and go, and then drop dead in the middle of something I'm loving to do. And if that doesn't happen, if I wind up sitting in a wheelchair, at least I'll have my high heels on.
Adjusting to the passage of time, I think, is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.
I'm an energy vampire. I just suck off everybody's energy. But I give it back.
