I was trying to find a reason for having had to escape from the place that was my home. To convince myself of my choices, I had to make it a place that everyone should want to escape from.

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

I try to be feminine, yet intellectual and smart at the same time. You don't see enough of that.

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.

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

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

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.
