I think the name came [of the show 'Gaycation'] out of the fact that a lot of people just don't know - they don't know what so many people face around the world or even in their own country, where there's a variety of experience, and despite the incredible progress we've seen, that progress hasn't necessarily reached everyone. I wanted to kind of have this title to have you be open to the experience, and then you enter it and you do see the realities.
Ellen PageWe're friends, and we're both friends with actresses our age, but we never get to work with each other because there's one girl in the movie, or whatever. For me, it was just so amazing to get to work with Evan [Rachel Wood], who I've loved forever.
Ellen PageThe word responsibility is right, and doing everything you can to educate yourself and learn and be aware.
Ellen PageI find a lot of people say, โOh organic and localโs expensive and I just donโt have time.โ And Iโm like, well how much TV do you watch? Where are your priorities right now? I always take the time to eat well and eat locally because itโs common sense.
Ellen PageYeah, 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.
Ellen PageIf we took just 5 minutes to recognize each other's beauty, instead of attacking each other for our differences. That's not hard. It's really an easier and better way to live. And ultimately, it saves lives. Then again, it's not easy at all. It can be the hardest thing, because loving other people starts with loving ourselves and accepting ourselves. I know many of you have struggled with this. I draw upon your strength and your support, and have, in ways you will never know.
