Somewhere we turn ourselves into victims instead of being the powerful women we really are meant to be.
You know, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender - people are people.
We all have our own closets to come out of
You really have to listen to yourself and know if what someone is saying is true for you
I loved my role on Who's the Boss? There is always some of me in every character that I play.
Women don't realize how powerful they are
There are two things that I put my focus on. One is the fight against AIDS and finding a cure. The other is human rights.
Bigotry or prejudice in any form is more than a problem; it is a deep-seated evil within our society.
It makes me so angry - there's enough food in the world but people are starving. It's all political.
The message of transformation and how we all can live from our heart, not just from our head, was a very important message for me to learn in my own life.
I learned so much from Tony Danza I learned so much about myself.

I think it's very important for me to work on myself while I'm working on a character, and also it's important how I'm giving to and educating an audience. So I tend to go with people who are complex and substantive.
The gay community just recognizes what their closets are and we straight have to spend years trying to figure out which closet we are trapped in.
I love being able to make people laugh.
To me, celebrity doesn't mean a whole lot unless you're willing to use it. So I wanted to use it in a different way, with my AIDS work, the human rights stuff for the gay and lesbian community and the speaking I do
The more we can purge ourselves of the diseases we create the more we can become magnificent people
I've always felt that celebrity was wonderful for a lot of the perks that it could give you
