To me, celebrity doesn't mean a whole lot unless you're willing to use it. So I wanted to use it in a different way, with my AIDS work, the human rights stuff for the gay and lesbian community and the speaking I do.
We're taking on Social Security as a property rights issue. We figure that every single American has an absolute property right interest in the fruits of his or her own labor. What I work for should be my property.

Falling has become far more terrifying to me than rising.
You have traveled far, but the hardest part of a journey is always the next step.
My whole day has been a unicorn ride through a field of rainbows
So far I’m not seeing a lot of difference between me and a carnival con-man.
The one ring, to rule them all’? Sounds very far-fetched to me!
Far be it from me to keep a woman from her book. That could become dangerous
It's far more important why is being said, than what.
