I was very sexual from a very young age.

And I somehow always felt less lonely when I was completely alone.

I knew I wasn't attractive, and I was very happy about that. I didn't want to be attractive. I didn't want to attract. As long as no one wanted to be let in, I didn't have to shut anyone out.

I knew that I was gay, I knew it. I just couldn't see myself as a gay woman, even though that's where my heart was.

The diet industry is making a lot of money selling us fad diets, nonfat foods full of chemicals, gym memberships, and pills while we lose a piece of our self-esteem every time we fail another diet or neglect to use the gym membership we could barely afford.

You don't have to be emaciated or vomiting to be suffering. All people who live their lives on a diet are suffering.

When I watched Ellen come out in '97, my jaw was on the floor. I thought, There are some people who break the doors down, hold them open, and some people who walk right through.
