- "The issue of government is not to determine who may sleep together in the bedroom, it's to help those that might not be eating in the kitchen." - At the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

- I knew from the age of four that I wanted to preach. I didn't even consider it strange that grown people were listening to this kid preaching until I was around thirteen. I have never believed in limitations.
