home hiding things-you-can-control
When you have the paparazzi hiding in the bushes outside your home, the only thing you can control is how you respond publicly.
animal lovely worthwhile
Every animal has its own intelligence and sensitivities. They're all lovely, worthwhile, and deserving of our respect.
strong-women character female
I'm really attracted to strong women. Let me rephrase that, I'm really attracted to strong female characters.
beautiful thinking ideas
I have to be asked, I guess, but I love the idea of marriage. I think it's beautiful. I'm such a romantic, and I always have been.
gay creative way
I've had so many interviews where the last question is, Are you gay? I had to find very creative ways to say that I was gay, but that I wasn't going to talk about it
struggle gay our-world
If I was 14 and knew some gay people, I wouldn't nearly have had the struggle I had. Our world is definitely changing
smart intellectual trying
I try to be feminine, yet intellectual and smart at the same time. You don't see enough of that
talking youth
I did a lot of fast talking as a youth; I was pretty good at it. I was never talked into it - I was always the one doing the talking.
heart gay my-heart
I knew that I was gay, I knew it. I just couldn't see myself as a gay woman, even though that's where my heart was.
running makeup sweat
I would eat 300 calories a day - a lot of Jell-O and no-sugar everything, of course. I was doing Pilates, weight-training, circuit training; over lunch I would run on a treadmill in my dressing room with a fan on my face so I wouldn't sweat my makeup off.
age young young-age
I was very sexual from a very young age.
girl sex school
In high school I had sex with girls quite a few times. They were straight women who I convinced to jump in the sack with me
real people fiction
Reality TV now doesn't feel reality TV when it started. The line between reality and fiction is blurred. So many of these people are phony or shallow, in their own right. If you've ever watched any of The Real Housewives, or those types of shows, they're all performing. Even though they're real people, they're performing.
feelings stuff deals
My feelings for Ellen overrode all of my fear about being out as a lesbian. I had to be with her, and I just figured I'd deal with the other stuff later.
