I love being able to make people laugh.

But celebrity really doesn't mean anything unless you use it for finding some way to give back and I've always felt that way.

I got into theatre very early, so yes I was surrounded by gay people quite early and frequently.

Yet I've discovered that how I look is not a function of anything as ephemeral as my hair

I know what it feels like to be an outsider.

Exactly Straight women who surround themselves only with gay men or white people who refuse any other race into their circles are unhealthy and it has more to do with one's individual fear and individual closets.

The message of transformation and how we all can live from our heart, not just from our head, was a very important message for me to learn in my own life.
