Every animal has its own intelligence and sensitivities. They're all lovely, worthwhile, and deserving of our respect.

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.

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

I have to be asked, I guess, but I love the idea of marriage. I think it's beautiful. I'm such a romantic, and I always have been.

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.

You don't have to be emaciated or vomiting to be suffering. All people who live their lives on a diet are suffering.

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