My first job was as an assistant in the local library. Self-fulfilling prophecy?

Gay rights is not something most of us think about - because most of us happen to have been born straight.

I think the reason these readers come back to me is because I represent their points of view. It may not be my point of view, but that's OK. Everyone still deserves to have their say.

On a shelf above my computer are five letters that spell out W-R-I-T-E. Just in case I forget why I'm there. I also have 'Wonder Woman' paraphernalia from when I wrote five issues of the comic, and pictures of my husband and kids.

After all, didn't I blow a magnificent career?

Early on in my career I had a lot of bad press about my temperament, but I was only a young lad then.

I had spent my entire career not wanting to talk about weight, not wanting to deal with it, wanting to be an actor first.

I'll say this: I can't think of one instance in my 20 years in venture capital in which I have wanted to sell a company before the entrepreneur.
