Just because you keep something a secret doesn't mean it never happened, no matter how much you want that to be true.

To me gay rights is the last civil right that we have not granted in America and I think it's an enormous embarrassment.

My favorite part of any event is a Q&A. I do get asked a lot of the same questions but every now and then someone surprises me - and I LOVE that.

When someone loves you up one side and down the other like that, you make every effort to stick around.

Torn between fear and something that resembled love, she wrestled with questions she never dreamed she would face: How could she leave? Then again, how could she stay?

There's no way to convince her that just because you put half. planet between you and someone else, you can't drive that person out of your thoughts. Believe me. I've tried.

I think once you sign on to be a mother, that's the only shift they offer.
