He (son Jason) doesn't see me as a (gay) icon, he sees me as his mother who touches his hair too much. No, I love being an icon to anybody. Equal rights, you know?

I'd started going to acting classes at 14, played 'Medea' at 15 and really wanted to be a classical actress.

I can't cook, at all. I would not know how to make coffee. I took cooking classes, so I know how to make chocolate soufflé, but ask me if I want to make soufflé. I let somebody else make the chocolate soufflé, and I eat it. I found that, when I took cooking classes and tried to cook, I didn't want to eat it. The joy was gone. I was always filthy with the stuff, and then had to clean it up. I don't like that.

I'm not that ambitious any more. I just like my privacy. I wish I really wasn't talked about at all.

I have one son. Of everything I've done in my life, nothing matches the feeling of having life growing inside you.

Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.

It always gave me the creeps when I saw performers who desperately wanted the audience to like them. That's not what I'm about.
