I think there's a tremendous amount of guilt that goes on between mothers and daughters, no matter how good or bad their relationships are.

I'm not naive to the fact that I'm an out gay actor.

I hate how box-office failures are blamed on an actress, yet I don't see a box-office failure blamed on men.

I don’t believe in eye-for-an-eye. The most incredible, sustainable, beautiful movements have been non-violent movements of civil disobedience.

To be in a position, at my age, where I am financially independent, I can help develop things, I can promote stuff that I believe in, I can say no a lot and spend time writing - that is a gift.

Loving other people starts with loving ourselves and accepting ourselves.

I am a feminist and I am totally pro-choice, but what's funny is when you say that people assume that you are pro-abortion. I don't love abortion but I want women to be able to choose and I don't want white dudes in an office being able to make laws on things like this. I mean what are we going to do - go back to clothes hangers?
