Monday quotables...

“I was raised by drag queens, practically … my mother died when I was four-years-old, so I was effectively raised by a bunch of different people. A lot of those people were friends of my sister, Kathleen, who had all these gay friends. She would baby-sit me everyday, and she would take me over to her friend’s houses with all kinds of things going on: tucking, and eyebrow drawing, waxing, all sorts of things. I was literally raised by gay men.”
- "Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo to Starpluse

''I love warm weather and summertime. What better way to enjoy it than at the beach, where few people wear shirts?...'I don't really have a workout regimen I follow. I just live my life. My goal is to break a sweat each day.''
- Matthew McConaughey in the current issue of People Magazine

“I would love this case to just settle, go away - and the madness to stop.”
- Judge Karen Cassidy who is presiding over the juvenile divorce preceedings between Jim and Dina Matos McGreevey.

"I’m disappointed by how little progress we’ve made on the gay marriage issue. The gays continue to threaten my happy marriage by threatening to have their own happy marriages... Dr. Holsinger proves that male homosexuality is not only unnatural but a threat to public health… I say we get this guy appointed and let him do for homosexuality what previous surgeon generals have done for smoking. For years, we have tolerated smoking, just like we currently tolerate homosexuality, but the surgeon general alerted us to the dangers of smoking with warning labels. With Holsinger at the helm, we can use the same approach for homosexuality. Every gay man and woman should come with a label."
- Stephen Colbert's dead-pan take on the Bush Administration and the president’s surgeon general nominee Dr. James Holsinger who wrote the fanatical paper, “Pathophysiology of Male Homosexuality”:

"If [Travolta] was homophobic dancing in that fat suit with as many gay people as are working on this film, he would have had a heart attack and been dead. First of all, he is playing a loving mother, not [the late gay politician] Harvey Milk. I’m all for gay troublemaking, but is this journalist going to police the religion of all actors? Do we boycott Nicole Kidman because she’s Catholic?"
- John Waters scoffing over the gay protest over Scientologist John Travolta’s role in Hairspray.
