You are who you are. All you can do in this world is help others to be who they are and better themselves.

All of my life I've spent a lot of time with gay men - Montgomery Clift, Jimmy Dean, Rock Hudson - who are my colleagues, coworkers, confidantes, my closest friends, but I never thought of who they slept with! They were just the people I loved. I could never understand why they couldn't be afforded the same rights and protections as all of the rest of us. There is no gay agenda, it's a human agenda

When I'm not with the one I love, I love the one I'm with.

People who know me well, call me Elizabeth. I dislike Liz.

I haven't read any of the autobiographies about me.
