I wish we lived in a society that made it safe and provided the courage for everyone to come out.

It makes me so angry - there's enough food in the world but people are starving. It's all political.

I've always felt that celebrity was wonderful for a lot of the perks that it could give you

You really have to listen to yourself and know if what someone is saying is true for you

To me, celebrity doesn't mean a whole lot unless you're willing to use it. So I wanted to use it in a different way, with my AIDS work, the human rights stuff for the gay and lesbian community and the speaking I do

I know what it feels like to be an outsider.

I was different and people made fun of me.
