Why is it people who want the truth never believe it when they hear it?

When they tried me out as a host on TV, I found that I just couldn't be that gregarious person. I was stranger than that.

Art is the signature of a generation; artists have a way of defining the times.

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

I need instant gratification.

. . . it is true, even people with painful childhoods. . . grow up to be more interesting people. So, there's always a positive to a negative.

You know, for me, the realization that two people should have the right to form a sacred union regardless of their gender was strengthened when I saw a performance of the play The Normal Heart in 1985. After feeling the love those two men had for each other, I dare anybody not to want them to get married by the end.
