 Exactly Straight women who surround themselves only with gay men or white people who refuse any other race into their circles are unhealthy and it has more to do with one's individual fear and individual closets. |
| If you want to be a star, don't bother doing it because it ends up being very empty. |
| I was different and people made fun of me. |
| I've always felt that celebrity was wonderful for a lot of the perks that it could give you. |
| My weight went up and down like a yo-yo. |
| Bigotry or prejudice in any form is more than a problem; it is a deep-seated evil within our society. |
| Women don't realize how powerful they are. |
| The gay community just recognizes what their closets are and we straight have to spend years trying to figure out which closet we are trapped in. |
| Somewhere we turn ourselves into victims instead of being the powerful women we really are meant to be. |
| Yet I've discovered that how I look is not a function of anything as ephemeral as my hair. |
| I know what it feels like to be an outsider. |
| There are two things that I put my focus on. One is the fight against AIDS and finding a cure. The other is human rights. |
| It makes me so angry - there's enough food in the world but people are starving. It's all political. |
| I couldn't care less if someone is gay or straight. |
| You really have to listen to yourself and know if what someone is saying is true for you. |
| The message of transformation and how we all can live from our heart, not just from our head, was a very important message for me to learn in my own life. |
| I love being able to make people laugh. |
| But celebrity really doesn't mean anything unless you use it for finding some way to give back and I've always felt that way. |
| To me, celebrity doesn't mean a whole lot unless you're willing to use it. So I wanted to use it in a different way, with my AIDS work, the human rights stuff for the gay and lesbian community and the speaking I do. |
| You know, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender - people are people. |
