I'm really attracted to strong women. Let me rephrase that, I'm really attracted to strong female characters.

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 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.

I've had so many interviews where the last question is, Are you gay? I had to find very creative ways to say that I was gay, but that I wasn't going to talk about it.

I justified it in so many ways. I had a very, very long and difficult struggle with my sexuality.

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