I think my mother realized she had a somewhat unusual daughter pretty early on.

I am a proud member of the LGBT community and could never bear the idea that someone could say I was closeted.

I'm fighting for the right to get married. For other people.

I can't be a part of the problem. I hate the idea of a label just as much as anyone else but I'm with who I'm with, I love who I love and I'm if not a better actress than I was yesterday and my personal life should have no effect on that. I think that the injustice of people staying in the closet is more than I can bear with a clear conscience and I couldn't sleep at night if I was a part of that problem, if I was part of the lies.

Every pound for a woman in the real world is seven pounds for an actress.

I'm strong. I'm smart. I'm not a victim,' to my detriment.

Young women from a very young age are taught that life will be easier if you can just turn on the charming smile and say very little and be complacent and docile and sweet.
