In the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope? ↗

I think things changed as a result of a certain perception of our politics. When we went through our zealous, self-righteous period it didn't exactly win us any friends. ↗

I think one of the most threatening places to be in politics is a black conservative because there are so many liberals who want to continue to reinforce a stereotype that doesn't exist about America. ↗

The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general.

I just think it's a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that's fun. ↗
