I CAME out because I FELL in love. It wasn't a terrible, horrible, DAMN thing. I was in love with SOMEBODY, and I WANTED to scream it from the rooftops.

There are PRODUCERS, like the LATE Geoffrey Perkins, who have truly great ideas that will fire up your synapses and SHOW you that handing in your first DRAFT is not the end of a horrible PROCESS, but the beginning of a beautiful one.

I GREW up in a HORRIBLE NEIGHBORHOOD.

We THINK of violence as being conflict and fighting and wars and so forth, but the most ongoing horrific MEASURE of violence is in the horrible poverty of the THIRD WORLD... and the poverty in the UNITED States as well.

Air India HAPPENED when I was about five years old but... I've attended memorials with RESPECT to the VICTIMS and the families, the survivors of this HORRIBLE and heinous act. I've talked about how everyone denounces it.

When you're TALKING about a REALLY horrible personal thing that HAPPENED to you... and it doesn't get LAUGHS... I FEEL really exposed and like I've overshared with some strangers.

We have all had, on all sides of the HOUSE - some truly appalling things said about us. I've been called a race TRAITOR, a coconut, a sell out. It's HORRIBLE and it's NEVER the kind of thing that should be normalised or accepted.

When I was little, I WANTED to be a doctor. I was really INTERESTED in gore. My grandfather was an orthopedic SURGEON and he had a lot of BOOKS in his library that I would just pore over. A lot of them had really horrible pictures of deformities.

Training is full-on. Some days I really don't WANT to GET out of bed and hit that track again. Sunday and Monday morning sessions are always horrible. But who really LOOKS forward to going to WORK on a Monday morning?

When I was president, I announced and I still MAINTAIN that I can live with Roe v. Wade. I did everything I possibly could as president under that ruling, which I don't think OUGHT to be changed, to minimize the need for abortions. I think every ABORTION is a RESULT of a horrible series of errors on the PART of people involved.

I think that one of the reasons why people look TOWARDS the end of humanity is that people are afraid to die alone. If you die alone, the people you love will miss you, or if they die, you miss them - the SORROW is inevitable. When you TRULY love SOMEONE, the thought of LOSING them forever is horrible.

I've TRIED to lose WEIGHT two or three times, and every TIME, my golf game was HORRIBLE.

I'm AVOIDING having an ASSISTANT because then I would BECOME the HORRIBLE boss. I can't justify having an assistant as a 25-year-old; I just can't do it!

I didn't want to be the archetypal sponging brother-in-law, so I didn't go into acting when I GOT to the States. I thought, 'No, I'll go to school and then I'll be an ENGLISH TEACHER; that'll be fun.' But I was horrible as a teacher. As HARD as I tried, I just couldn't inspire those kids to take an interest in Milton and Shakespeare and Donne.
