What was really great with Eleanor Roosevelt - I mean, of course, we all have this stereotypical, really satirical almost, version of how she speaks. What was really interesting to me was I found various radio and TV appearances of hers, but there was one talk show that I saw her on; she was the only woman, it was all men. They were talking about policy - I think it was after she was First Lady. I think it was more in the U.N. days.

Cynthia NixonI am very annoyed about this issue. Why canโt it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate? It seems weโre just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I donโt think that they should define the terms of the debate. I also feel like people think I was walking around in a cloud and didnโt realize I was gay, which I find really offensive. I find it offensive to me, but I also find it offensive to all the men Iโve been out with.
