there-is-no-god
[I'm] almost positive there is no God.
home night men
My stepfather, John O'Hara, was the goodest man there was. He was not a man of many words, but of carefully chosen ones. He was the one parent who didn't try to fix me. One night I sat on his lap in his chair by the woodstove, sobbing. He just held me quietly and then asked only, "What does it feel like?" It was the first time I was prompted to articulate it. I thought about it, then said, "I feel homesick." That still feels like the most accurate description - I felt homesick, but I was home.
jobs people
I don't like people whose job it isn't to be funny, to tell me what is and isn't funny.
comedy truth-is
The truth is, I've denied it for years, but I love deconstructing comedy.
forget almost-there
Don’t forget, God can see you masturbating. But don’t stop. He’s almost there.
quality quality-of-life deserve
We deserve quality lives with equality.
art dad school
And then before going back for my sophomore year, I decided to change my major to arts and sciences, and my dad cut a deal with me: He said if I'd quit school he'd pay my rent for the next three years, as if I were in school.
mean audience
It's just hard to say, "Well, I do this, which means this." If I'm telling you exactly who I am, then there's nothing for the audience to say.
thinking games fairs
I really think everything is fair game.
bulls mess shops
A bull in just about any shop is gonna be a mess.
country kings love-you
Dear America, when you tell gay Americans that they can't serve their country openly or marry the person that they love, you're telling that to kids too. So don't be f**king shocked and wonder where all these bullies are coming from that are torturing young kids and driving them to kill themselves because they're different; they learned it from watching you.
kids people unbearable
I was paralyzed with fear. It was unbearable to be among other kids who were just standing around being fine. It was one of the many inconveniences of this paradox I lived with -the more people I was surrounded by, the more frighteningly alone I felt.
strong rocks feminist
As soon as a women gets to an age where she has opinions and she's vital and she's strong, she's systematically shamed into hiding under a rock.
stars acting episodes
When I came out to L. A., I got a part in an episode of 'Star Trek: Voyager,' and I hired an acting coach.
