I will help the good fight continue until that long awaited moment arrives, when our rights are equal and when the political limits on love have been smashed.

I can think of few things more painful than naming four good things about yourself in front of a room of journalists!

A man told me that for a woman, I was very opinionated. I said, 'for a man you're kind of ignorant'.

Im much happier talking with people than I am flirting with them.

I'm not one of those stars that goes out and literally dresses to be photographed. I'm kind of a 'what you see is what you get' type of girl when I dress. I go for comfort above everything else.

I found it liberating to sing on camera. On stage, you have to indicate having a thought, and the word you are singing must indicate it as well, but on camera, you can have ideas, you can take in all the stimuli that the character would be taking in, there's a freedom you get, and you don't have the obligation to transmit each idea to the back of the house. It felt so much closer to reality for me.

There's no magic bullet; there's no pill that you take that makes everything great and makes you happy all the time. I'm letting go of those expectations, and that's opening me up to moments of transcendent bliss. But I still feel the stress over 'Am I thin enough? Am I too thin? Is my body the right shape?'
