I didn't choose the fact that I was gay, but I did choose whether to live my life as a gay woman-that was the terrifying thing for me. Especially being a gay actress.

I ran into Ellen at a photo shoot. She took my breath away. That had never happened to me in my life.

I really never stopped thinking about Ellen, because I just haven't felt that kind of energy with anyone in my life.

I love being able to wear dresses and clothes that make me feel feminine and beautiful, and I love the fact that I don't have to all the time; I can wear a tank and jeans.

It sounds so trite, but my private life is mine.

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.
