I've tried to take the opportunity to be as positive a person as I can be, as positive role model as I can be.

I don't ever apologize for who I am because then I let someone else decide who I am.

I enjoy my relationship with straight men. It's very nurturing. It's very validating to hang out with straight guys and be accepted. So many of us, we were not accepted when we were younger by straight persons in high school.

For the first time in my life, I want the right to get married. I've met somebody who meets the criteria of what I've always imagined in and wanted from a partner - someone to marry and to bring children into the world with.

It's not being marketed as a gay show by a gay person. It's just Ellen DeGeneres.

Call me old-fashioned, but I like my conditioners to be conditioners and my shampoos to be shampoos.

Our sexual lives are maintained by the shadow side and the light side, so the more we can understand and embrace enlightenment, the less need there is for chemical enhancement.
