Rolling Stone

“I admire Ellen for standing up and saying what she said," the artist said in an NPR interview. "George Bush has made a lot of mistakes. I made a lot of mistakes. Ellen DeGeneres has made a lot of mistakes. People need to come together ...They need to respect people’s view on life. Except when it’s heresy, and I don’t think George Bush is that kind of guy.”
