My true function within a society which embraces all of us is to continue an age-old tradition. This tradition is to create images from the depths of the imagination and to give them form whether visual intellectual or musical.

And you know whether it's drama or comedy the best work is based on truth. It's just that with comedy the circumstances are just crazy-heightened and you have these crazy things thrown at you. But you still have to do it truthfully because that's where the humor comes from. So it's not that difficult to cross over.

The polls indicated that I was feisty that I was tough that I had a sense of humor but they weren't quite sure if they liked me and they didn't know whether or not that I was sensitive.

My type of humor is me not caring whether people know what I'm talking about or not.

Whether planned or not humor takes our mind off of our troubles.

Whether it's viewers of the show or readers of my columns and books I'm consistently impressed with their wit humor and insight. That goes for about 95 percent of the audience. The other five percent are why the 'Delete' option and restraining orders were invented.

I think it's impossible to judge whether another person should come out. You just hope they will on their own time and their own terms.

Whether you've seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.

I remind everyone: Whether you school them at home or send them to school you as a parent have the responsibility to make sure they learn and behave. Teachers and principals may help but parents are the ones who must accept responsibility.

When I was 14 I felt very rundown I had a home to go to but I felt like I was 60 or something older than I feel now. And I don't know if it's something that happens at 14 or whether it was adolescence or whether I was gay or closeted gay or whatever it was I felt that.
