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.

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

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.

I married him for a green card. We had a really great, caring relationship; it just obviously wasn't right for me.

You live with the fear people might find out. Then you actually have the courage to tell people and they go, I don't think you are gay. It's enough to drive you crazy.

I'm living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay.

People might find me attractive, but it's also my job to prove that I can be intelligent.
