There are going to be some people who never want Wal-Mart. That’s OK.
Sometimes Queens’ music is dark, but somehow it’s ok to deliver it with a smile on your face because thing’s are still going to kick in.
I simply can’t do one-word message replies: Yes. Ok. No. Sure. Cool. None of these are options for me. I must write something extra. Something personal. I put kisses and emoticons. Emoticons, by the way, are my very best friends. They have removed all the pressure of thinking up something personal to say.
My first TV experience, it was so bad. I just didn’t feel a creative atmosphere. I felt like we were just pawns to deliver lines. Everyone was telling me that’s just television. I said, ‘OK, I’m going to stay far away from television!

I never dreamed I’d be a spokesman for anything. But Pac Bell just asked me. The money was OK; the scripts were fun because I had to do in 30 seconds what it takes a whole feature to do and because the dysfunctional family of agents, managers and lawyers who represent me said it was cool.
In the 1990s, it’s OK to do comedy about the Chernobyl disaster or the Space Shuttle blowing up. It’s acceptable to ridicule the Pope or the President of the United States, but God forbid you do a joke… about gays. The gay community is the last sacred cow in this society.
I shaved my head when I was 14 – is that bad? I asked my dad’s permission first. He said, ‘You’re gonna look like a boy.’ And I said, ‘OK’… then I did it anyway. All through high school, I had a shaved head and I’d dye it crazy colors – it was fun.

I do love my country. I don’t think I’m particularly a good American. I don’t know what makes a good American. Other than somebody who – I like people who let other people alone. I think that’s a pretty good American. And I keep my hands to myself. So I’m an OK American.

Nurses told my mother that I was going to be OK. They thought I could walk without a limp and without a brace. And we stopped in a shoe store on the way home and bought a pair of low-top saddle Oxford shoes, which was sort of a symbol that I was going to be a normal little boy.
I actually didn’t believe the producers when they said, ‘Joy, we’re writing a movie about your life’. I was like, ‘Oh, OK, fine, call me tomorrow.’

That guy is so funny, he’s just so funny… you know, I’m a news junkie, so I regularly flip between HuffingtonPost.com, CNN.com, and a site that’s called MyWay.com, which shows me six different news feeds. And I go on DrudgeReport.com about once a day.
I definitely understand not entirely fitting in. I think everyone has their own version of feeling out of place and I think one of the great things we have the ability to do is to know it’s all right. It’s OK to have that awkward phase.
Self-hatred is OK. I have self-hatred, too. It’s OK. What’s bad is if you don’t know how to get out of it, don’t know how to manage it. Self-hatred is, in fact, a good thing if you can clearly see the mechanism of it, because it helps you to understand others.
I thought, ‘OK, Melissa Gilbert is playing my mom, and I’m playing her old role – no pressure.’ So I went up to Melissa and said, ‘It’s such an honor playing your daughter,’ and she smiled and said, ‘Oh, shut up.’ I thought, ‘Great, a normal person.’
