When I was anorexic it just seemed like I literally wanted to disappear. And now I would like to reappear.

I had to find a relationship with someone who could simultaneously make me grow up and keep me forever young.

I would eat 300 calories a day - a lot of Jell-O and no-sugar everything, of course. I was doing Pilates, weight-training, circuit training; over lunch I would run on a treadmill in my dressing room with a fan on my face so I wouldn't sweat my makeup off.

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.

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.

Shame weighs a lot more than flesh and bone.

In high school I had sex with girls quite a few times. They were straight women who I convinced to jump in the sack with me.
