I'm a very research-, homework-oriented person.
I really wanted a wonderful, traditional home for my kid.
We can't take a step backwards when we've already made so many strides forward. I was raised by gay men and women...it's who I am, you cannot define a family. There are children out there who need these loving homes. These are rights that are fundamental and must be had. And I will fight for however long it takes; I don't want to live in a world where prop 8 exists!
I'm a real stay-at-home mom. I'm really hands-on. Everything else became secondary.
I'm very homework-oriented - I'm a little Tracy Flick-ish.
I'm certainly not an uptight home owner.
Producing is so exciting because you can enable things to happen, whether it's like discovering a filmmaker who you're taking a chance on, protecting a battle and driving home at the end of the day just going, 'I'm so glad I stayed late at work and fought hard for that. Had my passion. Won that battle.'
I was 14 when I moved into my own apartment. I was so scared. I didn't know anything.
The family making this claim were constantly taking pictures of me. And I politely asked them to stop, so that the people I was with would not be bothered.
It was like going through a museum of an artist's greatest works.
Of course I want to look good in clothes. And it never makes me feel good when somebody who has an insane figure tells me, 'I eat whatever I want.'
I was raised in unique and trying environments, but they were also amazing platforms for me to have an extraordinary life. Going through hell as a kid made me sensitive to what others in this world go through, too.
I find a lot of really hot people to be extremely boring because they haven't had to work at it.
I am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I'm actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they, in turn, were my life lessons.
