I learned a lot more about transgender people. It's not a choice, but a physiological condition that has to do with the size of the hypothalamus part of the brain.

Some roles require a building from the foundation up; it really doesn't come to you easily.

But in my own particular case, there was something that happened when I became a mother. Whenever in the news I saw an example of a child being abused or mistreated, my response went from being appalled to being physically revolted.

Nature chooses who will be transgender; individuals don't choose this.

I've always had facility with the German accent.

We have the tendency to condemn what we don't understand.

I find there's almost no place to put an award that one's quite comfortable with.
