You know the sad thing of post-9/11 which was of course horrific was that the city in which I felt completely at home for two decades suddenly people like us - brown people - were looked at as the 'Others.'

I grew up in an abusive home and was told on a daily basis by my father that I would never amount to anything and that I looked like a boy.

I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've taken all the paths to get where I wanted.But no matter where I go I still come home me.

If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face you should go home and examine your conscience.

Throughout out history when people have looked for new ways to solve their problems and to uphold the principles of this nation many times they have turned to political parties. They have often turned to the Democratic Party.

Man's naked form belongs to no particular moment in history it is eternal and can be looked upon with joy by the people of all ages.

I think all Americans believe in human rights. And health is an often overlooked aspect of basic human rights. And it's one that's easily corrected. The reason I say that is that many of the diseases that we treat around the world I knew when I was a child. My mother was a registered nurse. And they no longer exist in our country.

I always looked for a man to rescue me and bring me happiness. I bought into that myth of course and looked for my own Prince Charming.

I can't believe it's been four years now and from watching that pilot we really all looked like babies. It's unbelievable just how far everything has come. I'm happier now than I've ever been on the show and in my life. I really owe so much of my happiness to 'Glee.'

All my graduation money went to paying for bartending classes so I could have a side gig. I bartended for two months before I was supposed to move to New York and then two months later I got the job as an understudy in 'Sister Act' and haven't looked back since.
