I love body parts, especially hands.

I was very sexual from a very young age.

Shame weighs a lot more than flesh and bone.

It sounds so trite, but my private life is mine.

We must be able to inspire. That's my goal in acting.

There's a fine line between being private and being ashamed.

Restriction generates yearning. You want what you cannot have.

And I somehow always felt less lonely when I was completely alone.

I thought, I'm out in my life, that doesn't involve my public life.

I highly recommend inviting the worst-case scenario into your life.

I never, ever, restrict food, and I will never go on a diet ever again.

I had a hell of a time convincing people I was gay - which was so annoying!

I'm not quite as limber, but for my peers and my age group, I'm still top notch!

Supermodels are over, and the new picture girl has become the television actress.

My sexuality is a part of me that I really like. But it's not the totality of me.

I don't even like watching sex scenes in movies. I have a slight prudish side to me.

I stumbled into acting and just loved it. I deferred law school-and I'm still deferred.

Healing comes from love. And loving every living thing in turn helps you love yourself.

People might find me attractive, but it's also my job to prove that I can be intelligent.

I stumbled into acting and just loved it. I deferred law school - and I'm still deferred.

The first time I was paparazzi'd, I thought I was being investigated for an insurance claim.

I try to be feminine, yet intellectual and smart at the same time. You don't see enough of that.

I justified it in so many ways. I had a very, very long and difficult struggle with my sexuality.

I ran into Ellen at a photo shoot. She took my breath away. That had never happened to me in my life.

True nobility isn't about being better than anyone else; it's about being better than you used to be.

When I was anorexic it just seemed like I literally wanted to disappear. And now I would like to reappear.

I want young people to see me and think you can be feminine and smart and successful, all at the same time.

I'm really attracted to strong women. Let me rephrase that, I'm really attracted to strong female characters.

I had to find a relationship with someone who could simultaneously make me grow up and keep me forever young.

I'm living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay.

Normal" isn't an adjective you wish to hear after putting that much effort into making sure it was spectacular.

I married him for a green card. We had a really great, caring relationship; it just obviously wasn't right for me.

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.

I really never stopped thinking about Ellen, because I just haven't felt that kind of energy with anyone in my life.

You don't have to be emaciated or vomiting to be suffering. All people who live their lives on a diet are suffering.

If I was 14 and knew some gay people, I wouldn't nearly have had the struggle I had. Our world is definitely changing.

Every animal has its own intelligence and sensitivities. They're all lovely, worthwhile, and deserving of our respect.

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.

When you have the paparazzi hiding in the bushes outside your home, the only thing you can control is how you respond publicly.

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.

Average. It was the worst, most disgusting word in the English language. Nothing meaningful or worthwhile ever came from that word.

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.

Thanks so much, everybody, for making gay marriage legal, thank you for everything you've done-I'm just going to walk through that door

Even if I'm hormonal and I feel like I've got a couple pounds of water weight, I will never starve myself, I will never, ever go on a diet.

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.

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.

I have a very, very healthy relationship with food in that I eat whatever I want, whenever I want. I never restrict quantities or types of food.

Most important, in order to find real happiness, you must learn to love yourself for the totality of who you are and not just what you look like.

Women in the postfeminist era, while supposedly strong and commanding and equal to men in every sense, looked weaker and smaller than ever before.

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.
