Anybody that you put on TV five hours a week is at some point is going to say something stupid.

My job is mostly to entertain and be funny.

I remember thinking, 'I don't know if I can do radio.' I never even listen to it.

Part of the reason why I've never said that I was gay until now was because I didn't want that adjective assigned to my name for all of eternity. You know, gay Rosie O'Donnell.

I couldn't imagine doing a show where I'd once again have to answer to corporate interests.

I took in a foster kid that I wanted to adopt in the state where I live, and I pay taxes, said to me, based on not your morality, not on how good you are as a mother, not on how much you've given to foster kids in Florida, based on the facts that you're in love with a woman, you can't keep her.

I was 29 and I really fell in love, I think, for the first time. I was vulnerable in a way I didn't think I could be.
