My decision not to eat animals anymore was paramount to my growth as a spiritual person. It made me aware of greed and made me more sensitive to cruelty. It made me feel like I was contributing to making the world better and that I was connected to everything around me. I felt like I was part of the whole by respecting every living thing rather than using it and destroying it by living unconsciously. Healing comes from love. And loving every living thing in turn helps you love yourself.

I married him for a green card. We had a really great, caring relationship; it just obviously wasn't right for me.

People might find me attractive, but it's also my job to prove that I can be intelligent.

Thanks so much, everybody, for making gay marriage legal, thank you for everything you've done-I'm just going to walk through that door

If I was 14 and knew some gay people, I wouldn't nearly have had the struggle I had. Our world is definitely changing.

I love to work. I really enjoy getting up really early and driving downtown. I just really love the process of acting and being on a series.

I'm living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay.
