My mom Irmelin taught me the value of life. Her own life was saved by my grandmother during World War II.

For everything I do I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concert last night. I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night. I never want to be arrested and I never want to get a DUI those are my moral values.

What men value in this world is not rights but privileges.

I don't think feminism as I understand the definition implies the rejection of maternal values nurturing children caring about the men in your life. That is just nonsense to me.

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.

Quite frankly Barack Obama knows what it's like to pay a mortgage and student loans. He knows what it's like to watch a beloved family member in a medical crisis and worry that treatment is out of reach. Barack Obama knows our struggles. And my friends he shares our values.

We are very puritan in America. We still hold true to these really antiquated values this idea of the sanctity of marriage.

We can practice tolerance while still holding true to cultural values that protect the institution of marriage as a union between only a man and a woman.

I support allowing gay couples to marry because of - not in spite of - my values. And many of those values are the same ones deeply held by those who do not believe in gay marriage.

Civil union is less than marriage. Marriage is a sacred and valued institution and ought to be afforded equal protection.
