"Looking back, I think I was just lucky that I met him during a pause, when he was standing outside of his world looking in, trying to understand how all the pieces fit together. He was just beginning to explore Buddhism then.

Watching a French documentary about little kids in school and it’s brilliant.
When Paris is Burning came out I was just a kid in the local choir in my church in New Orleans. I remember how much I loved everything about it — the characters, the costumes, the music. I couldn’t believe there were gay Black and Latino men being portrayed like that on screen. It meant a lot to me and in many ways inspired me to do something different and follow my dream, no matter what others said.

Get it, Katherine Jenkins!
