My private life is private. But at the same time, I have nothing to hide. So what I will say is that I am very happy. ”

Even though I'm over 35, I feel like so much more of a leading lady than I did when I was 30. ”

I'm fairly out of the loop when it comes to pop culture. ”

In a school where everyone is famous or rich or whatever, you have a culture, 'What does your dad do?' 'What does your mom do?' ”

I go for my completely routine mammogram and then I get a call from my gynecologist. And she says, 'Well, I have some - it's not such great news, but here it is, but it's very small and we're just going to get in there and take it right out, right away, and then you'll probably have radiation.' ”

I believe we all have different ways we came to the gay community and we can't and shouldn't be pigeon-holed into one cultural narrative which can be uninclusive and disempowering. ”

We've all seen the mom who devotes all her time and attention to her child and is so hungry for adult interaction that as soon as she's around another adult, she's not paying attention anymore. ”

My girlfriend is much better than I am at working hard then resting, and she demands that from me, too. She insists on having time when we don't do anything. We leave the housework and watch a movie. ”

Unlike me, a lot of child actors are very short, which is why they work. So when they're 15 they can play 11 or when they're 18 they can play 14. They look young for so long, they have abilities a much younger kid wouldn't have. ”
