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

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 your self-esteem really does depend on how you look you're always going to be insecure. There's no way you can get around it because you are going to age. Even if you get that perfect body you're going to get older and older and older. You can't avid it. So you have to somehow, at some point, take control and sift the focus and decide who you are, what you can contribute to the world, what you do and say, is so much more important than how you look.

We must be able to inspire. That's my goal in acting.

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

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 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.
