When you try to be a role model, not everybody can relate to some of your highs - awards, championships. But everybody can relate to the lows. Everybody's gotten fired from a job or gotten cut. People learn more about you in those lows than they do in the highs.
I think, with TG, in our own ways, we have been committed to the idea of evolution on some level and change on some level - that human behaviour may not be changeable, but one has to try and be optimistic and work towards content that might signify change.
When I am practicing yoga, I try to avoid music. But if I really have to listen to something, I listen to the Om chant.

I'm sure a majority of farmers do their best to follow safe practices, to read carefully chemical labels, to follow the law, and to try and ensure that they are making both safe and profitable decisions for their business.
I used to take someone with me for the chemotherapy so I could do jokes. You always try and find something absurd.
I try and be a little bit chic. I wouldn't wear sweatpants. I wouldn't wear a twinset.
