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.

It sounds so trite, but my private life is mine.

I stumbled into acting and just loved it. I deferred law school - and I'm still deferred.

Everyone is their own kind of lesbian. To think there's a certain way to dress or present yourself in the world is just one more stereotype we have to fit into.

I try to be feminine, yet intellectual and smart at the same time. You don't see enough of that.

Average. It was the worst, most disgusting word in the English language. Nothing meaningful or worthwhile ever came from that word.

I want young people to see me and think you can be feminine and smart and successful, all at the same time.
