I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission. I suffered for years because I was scared to be out. My spirit suffered, my mental health suffered and my relationships suffered. And I'm standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of that pain.

Yeah, people following me down the street and at the airport and all that. I can't imagine what it must be like for people who are, you know, actually famous.

The relationships I've had with my girl friends are so powerful and meaningful. Without them I truly don't know what I'd do.

Love is the most incredible gift to give and to receive as a human being.

I'm actually just playing honest, whole young women.

When I was 5, someone thought it was smart to let me watch The People Under the Stairs. It might not have even been that scary, but I do remember skinned people in cages under the stairs and a man who lived in a wall without a tongue… and that’s why I cry after sex.

Now I'm able to align my work and creative life with who I am.
