I'm terrified to ride a bike in a city - and I grew up riding bikes in the city. I've just heard enough stories - I have enough friends who've been hit by taxicabs and things.
I didn't want to be driving to work everyday and sending out my Starbucks order. I didn't want to be in New York or L.A. I wanted to have space and I wanted to be in a remote place where all of us could just be ourselves and not worry about anyone trying to listen in or get in on that. I wanted to just be comfortable. I feel like being in a big city - as much as I find New York, in particular, very inspiring in a lot of ways - can also be claustrophobic.
I campaigned for [Barack] Obama for more than a year. I was in Iowa, Minnesota, California, Arizona - just traveling around to help get the word out. It was such a huge, spirited campaign, and so positive. But you travel around to cities in the U.S. now and there's just this hopelessness that has set in. It makes it hard to understand why it seems so impossible to make any kind of progressive change with an administration that is seemingly progressive, or why we keep encountering such political roadblocks to change.
Mostly, I was thinking, 'Oh, my God. This is happening on live TV'.
Well, I think a lot of people shop online and I think it makes the products more available. And hopefully it'll make a huge difference in how much money we raise.
It's a lovely, lovely place to come and visit and the shopping is fantastic. I'm very happy to be here. I have been here for five weeks and I've done a lot of shopping. I think I need to buy another suitcase.
It was definitely in poor taste. I'd been prepping for two hours with hair and makeup and getting dressed. And the first interview I do, someone who I have never met before fondles me for his own satisfaction.
Uh, Disneyland Drive right on the entrance to the 5 Freeway . . . actually we pulled off to the side but, unfortunately, we have a bunch of paparazzi cars also following us.
Woody would be very happy if I wore the kind of dress I wore in the movie, white and linen, but I don't think that would go down very well in the Golden Globes.
I just adored working with Woody. He was more than I could have ever dreamed of. I'd do it a million times over.
I mean, it's nice to get a dinner reservation ahead of other people, but when it comes down to it, the most important thing to me is the actual work.
Unfortunately, we have a bunch of paparazzi cars following us,
I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
I feel like in 10 or 15 years' time our children are going to look back and say, 'What? You were around when gay people weren't allowed to get married?'
