funny life birthday
My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the hell she is.
bullying people mind
Things will get easier, people's minds will change, and you should be alive to see it.
two numbers phones
I gotta work out. I keep saying it all the time. I keep saying I gotta start working out. Its been about two months since I've worked out. And I just don't have the time. Which uh..is odd. Because I have the time to go out to dinner. And uh..and watch TV. And get a bone density test. And uh.. try to figure out what my phone number spells in words.
differences stay-positive bigs
It makes a big difference in your life when you stay positive.
hurt gay thinking
Portia and I have been married for 4 years and they have been the happiest of my life. And in those 4 years, I don't think we hurt anyone else's marriage. I asked all of my neighbors and they say they're fine
challenges important be-true-to-yourself
It was so important for me to lose everything, because I found out what the most important thing is, which is to be true to yourself.
travel believe flames
[Airline food] is the tiniest food I've ever seen in my entire life. Any kind of meat that you get - chicken, steak, anything - has grill marks on each side, like somehow we'll actually believe there's an open-flame grill in the front of the plane.
magazines closets time-magazine
One time I actually cleaned out my closet so good I ended up on the cover of Time magazine.
fun people hug
And the bottom line is we are who we are-we look a certain way, we talk a certain way, we walk a certain way. I strut because I’m a supermodel, and sometimes I gallop for fun. When we learn to accept that, other people learn to accept us. So be who you really are. Embrace who you are. Literally. Hug yourself. Accept who you are. Unless you’re a serial killer.
fitness food health
I really don't think I need buns of steel. I'd be happy with buns of cinnamon.
gay winning upset
We're told to go on living our lives as usual, because to do otherwise is to let the terrorists win, and really, what would upset the Taliban more than a gay woman wearing a suit in front of a room full of Jews?
inspirational philosophy way
There's no one way to dance. And that's kind of my philosophy about everything.
rights voice feelings
If anybody could put themselves in that situation of feeling a giant loud voice saying you don't deserve the same rights, you are different and you are not equal, it feels really bad.
people fundamentals want
It is a fundamental right for people to be allowed to love who they want to love and marry who they want to marry and stop holding on to some form of discrimination that it's just isn't fair.
