beautiful fashion jeans
I love being able to wear dresses and clothes that make me feel feminine and beautiful, and I love the fact that I don't have to all the time; I can wear a tank and jeans.
home choices trying
I was trying to find a reason for having had to escape from the place that was my home. To convince myself of my choices, I had to make it a place that everyone should want to escape from.
gay rich-life careers
I'm living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay.
sexuality totality
My sexuality is a part of me that I really like. But it's not the totality of me.
style trying magazines
If you've looked at all the glamour magazines lately, all the covers are actresses. If they are on those covers, they are going to try to emulate models. That's just the way it is.
acting downtown driving
I love to work. I really enjoy getting up really early and driving downtown. I just really love the process of acting and being on a series.
school law acting
I stumbled into acting and just loved it. I deferred law school-and I'm still deferred.
insults-you giving insulting
She'd tell me how she'd handle the backhanded compliment by smiling and pretending she was receiving a genuine compliment all the while ignoring their attempt to be insulting. After all, it's the way an insult is received that makes it an insult. You can't really give offense unless someone takes it.
confused gay expression
I could tell by his expression that once he got over his anger at me for keeping this secret from him, there was nothing left to talk about. He wasn't confused. He didn't need questions answered. He didn't ask why or how or with whom or whether I thought maybe it might just be a phase. He didn't ask who knew and who didn't know or whether I thought it might ruin my career. I was his sister and he didn't care whether I was straight or gay; it simply didn't matter to him.
flesh bones shame
Shame weighs a lot more than flesh and bone.
playing-roles roles collapse
I didn't understand that playing roles in any relationship is false and will inevitably lead to the relationship's collapse. No one can be any one thing all the time.
worst-case-scenario cases scenarios
I highly recommend inviting the worst-case scenario into your life.
growing-up forever young
I had to find a relationship with someone who could simultaneously make me grow up and keep me forever young.
class race firsts
Even when I took first prize, topped the class, won the race, I never really won anything. I was merely avoiding the embarrassment of losing.
