I've become this sort of icon for the gay community. I don't like the position.

I don't think I'm a gay icon. I have no axe to grind. I mean, I'm clearly not homophobic! I'm not pro or con.

I am a huge fan of gays. They love me, and I love them. They think of me as sort of a gay icon.

I was never conscious that I was becoming an icon or I'm not an icon, because my family, my kids, my husband keep me down-to-earth.

I would never say I was an icon, but so many people have said I am, so I suppose I am. I mean, I can't not be what everyone says I am. But I don't feel like an icon.

I didn't want to be known as a gay comic, but as a comic who happens to be gay.

I never said I was gay, because I don't think anyone is.

I go back and forth, but I never wanted to be the photographer of the gay and lesbian community. I will wave a rainbow flag proudly, but I am not a singular identity. I think a singular identity isn't very interesting, and I'm a little bit more multifaceted as a person than that.

I ain't no icon. It's people like Patti LaBelle, somebody like that's an icon. I'm just Missy. I'm just crazy, that's all.

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.
