Supermodels are over, and the new picture girl has become the television actress.

My feelings for Ellen overrode all of my fear about being out as a lesbian. I had to be with her, and I just figured I'd deal with the other stuff later.

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

I did a lot of fast talking as a youth; I was pretty good at it. I was never talked into it - I was always the one doing the talking.

True nobility isn't about being better than anyone else; it's about being better than you used to be.

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

I thought that if I accomplished enough, that somehow I would be let off the hook in the future. Like I didn’t have to keep striving and achieving because I had done that already, and it would add up to being enough.
