It's not my place to tell you whom to vote for to take any political stand to tell you what religion to believe in. I'm an athlete. I can influence certain things but when I see other athletes and celebrities telling you whom to vote for I actually get a bit offended.

The more you get into any religion it becomes the same. It really becomes how you treat other people and how you get outside yourself. How you look to help other people and how you get out of this 'I me mine' type of thing.

Oh there's going to be debate because you're dealing with the Bible and religion is supposed to be separate from state and that to me is already a conflict before it even hits the gay issue.

No religion can long continue to maintain its purity when the church becomes the subservient vassal of the state.

What are my sources of strength? My husband and my three kids my health-care team and my religion.

I started listening to and playing other music in the '90s. It was after hearing other bands like Bad Religion cover Ramones songs that I started to like our songs again.

Religion may be defined thus: a belief in and homage rendered to existences unseen and causes unknown.

The audience that I try to reach are members of what I call the church alumni association. Now they are people who have not found in institutional religion a God big enough to be God for their world.

It appears to be in the nature of religion itself to be prejudiced against those who are different.

Religion is a mixed blessing.
