I put myself on the line with my truth and my sexuality. That is my choice. My choice
I have been very clear to everybody that just because I'm getting married does not mean I call myself a straight.
Are we changing the idea of what beauty is? Let's hope so. I'm not the typical Hollywood beauty. Let's hope we're looking at the insides of people a little more.
I don't belong to the straights now - they didn't get me back.
And for anyone who ever thought that Ellen and I broke it off because of sexuality, you couldn't be more mistaken. And for anyone who thought my mother's prayers had anything to do with me marrying a man, forget it.
To have gone through so much work to heal myself and have my mother not acknowledge in any way that she was sorry for what had happened to me, broke my heart.
I love comedy, because I like making fun of things even though they are dramatic.
The decisions that Ellen made on her show were between her and her producers. I supported her decisions. I was there to hug her when she got home.
I searched so hard for a part that was so complex

Vibrators. I think they are great. They keep you out of stupid sex. I'd pitch them to anybody.
When you are coming out, you say it's for you. But when everybody says it's not OK, it becomes about that rather than about you. It disappointed me.
I think it's always hard for children to talk about abuse because it is only memory. I didn't carry around a tape recorder … I didn't chisel anything in stone … Anybody can look and say, 'Well how do you know for sure?' And that's one of the most painful things about it. You don't.
Independent film is taking risks in all areas. It's not just about complicated women.
Most of my escapades were getting my Labrador dog into the back of my car to drive to Brooklyn where I worked at Avenue M Studios shooting a soap opera and battling being a 17 to 18-year-old playing twins being afraid that I was going to get fired, because who wouldn't fire me?
