“I think it's important to remember that Christianity was based in love and tolerance and forgiveness and acceptance.”

“I auditioned for a solo in church and got it. I was about seven and I sang a song called, 'Jesus, I Heard You Had a Big House' and I remember people standing up at the end and me thinking, 'Oh, I think I'm going to like this.'

“If you can learn to love yourself and all the flaws, you can love other people so much better. And that makes you so happy.”

“I don't understand what the big deal is with gay marriage. Get over it, people.”
