When I was about 17 or 18, I finally admitted to myself that I wasn't going to change. I didn't know what the consequences would be, but I had the definite feeling that it was going to wreck my Disney career.

I consider my teenage years as being desperately unhappy.

After I was fired from Disney, I did some of the worst movies ever made and I got professionally involved with a manager who said it didn't matter what you did as long as you kept working. I wound up completely broke.

I'm not ashamed of being gay, never have been and never will be. For that I have no apologies.

It is common sense that in our immigration courts, where children fleeing devastating violence abroad often find themselves, kids need lawyers to advocate on their behalf. After all, lawyers go to school for years to understand the nuances of our legal system.

I don't want to be going to bed at night thinking that people want to harm us, or my family, because that's when the lioness comes out.

I'm a vegetarian, but my family isn't. If I can keep everything in my house healthy, I don't have to worry as much when I eat out.

When we understand the connection between how we live and how long we live, it's easier to make different choices. Instead of viewing the time we spend with friends and family as luxuries, we can see that these relationships are among the most powerful determinants of our well-being and survival.
