“I’d rather pick someone brave, like Mark Bingham or Greg Louganis, not just a famous celebrity. Mark Bingham tried his best to subdue the terrorists on Flight 93. And Greg Louganis came out as an HIV-positive gay man at a very difficult time.”

“Janis Joplin. She was open to new experiences. I think that’s an admirable quality. And she was passionate in her performances. If I could give another name, it would be Cole Porter. I’ve listened to a lot of his music. It’s very nice and catchy.”

“Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a great lady. She was always for the underdog and worked hard for the underclass. I admire her. She was a real humanitarian.”

“The lesbian mother Shirley Tan. She’s doing a lot to help bi-national couples stay in America. There’s no reason to deport her back to the Philippines. She’s a very good mother. Her whole family moves me.”
