I have been very clear to everybody that just because I'm getting married does not mean I call myself a straight.

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.

I searched so hard for a part that was so complex

I'm very grateful for the platform that I've had in my life to speak out about the things I care about.

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? I had no idea what I was doing.

I believe I went through a divorce. My relationship with Ellen is no less significant as a marriage than my relationship to Coley.

Before, I just spewed whatever it was I thought about everything. I tend to be more contemplative now
