I had a hell of a time convincing people I was gay - which was so annoying!

I never, ever, restrict food, and I will never go on a diet ever again.

I have a very, very healthy relationship with food in that I eat whatever I want, whenever I want. I never restrict quantities or types of food.

The most important thing for me was to never, ever, ever deny it. But I didn't really have the courage to talk about it. I was thinking, The people who need to know I'm gay know.

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.

I could tell by his expression that once he got over his anger at me for keeping this secret from him, there was nothing left to talk about. He wasn't confused. He didn't need questions answered. He didn't ask why or how or with whom or whether I thought maybe it might just be a phase. He didn't ask who knew and who didn't know or whether I thought it might ruin my career. I was his sister and he didn't care whether I was straight or gay; it simply didn't matter to him.

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