The people of Montana want to send me to Washington - not to bring home the bacon but to slaughter the hog.
When we know as much about people as hog specialists know about hogs, we'll be better off.
I came from Iowa, south central Iowa. It was a very rural area. I saw a lot more hogs growing up than I saw people.
You just keep feeding hogwash to people, and pretty soon they'll eat it.
One of my favorite things in the world is to be seeing two people that are really old, still holding hands, still kissing.
When I see gay people holding hands or kissing in the streets, I just don't think that's right.
When you're 17 in the suburbs and know only three gay people, holding hands with your girlfriend is a proclamation.
Trying to launch a career as an artist is like trying to run through a crowd holding hands with five people. It's so difficult.
There were, and still are, a lot of different points of view in the gay community. It's not everybody holding hands and singing 'Kumbaya.' People have very different perspectives.
People thought we were intimidating, especially once we'd had a few drinks, but when I look back we were virtually on top of each other, holding hands. We sounded so stupid.
For most of my life, I believed that my father had broken many of my bones. They were emotional and psychological bones; things no one could see, things that caused me to limp through life clutching for and holding on to people and situations that often rendered me immobile.
People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that.
The only thing that white people have that black people need, or should want, is power-and no one holds power forever.
Many people don't understand ring control. They think they do until they're against someone who really understands how to set traps, how to create holes in the octagon that they fall into.
Fans talk to me about how 'Country Christmas' has become a holiday tradition for them and that they all watch to start their holiday season. To be a part of people's holiday traditions is a real joy.
I am not going to condemn anybody. That's where religion gets a bad name, when people get holier than thou. We are all human. If my children make a mistake, I want them to know it is all right and they should try harder next time.
I have a big problem when the sanctimonious, holier than thou congressmen and women go on national television for six hours and beat somebody up with a stick, and not because I'm 'Ms. Manners.' That's not what bothers me. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
I enjoyed being in 'The Ten Commandments.' That was a great experience - to suddenly become one of those holy people. I was holier than thou.
Every Christian who strives for holiness of life experiences dryness of soul. It is to most people a heart-rending experience. It is a paradox, for the soul becomes confused when it realizes the harder it strives the further away Jesus seems to be.
I believe in holiness and sacredness in other people. It doesn't mean that the clouds part and I see God. That's a juvenile way of thinking about it.
