With any story I write, I could actually write it from three or four different perspectives, which would end with a completely different moral at the end.

I have hardly any friends who aren't gay.

I really love animals. My cat is my little soul mate. He's not just a cat, he's my friend.

There's different kinds of love, and I'd never experienced that kind of totally platonic love. All the love I've experienced has always been a kind of deal, and now, as I get older, I realise that there's this other love out there.

Knowing whose advice to take and on what topic is the single most important decision an entrepreneur can make.

I try to keep things as varied as possible in my career, and after playing something as fun and over the top as Maryann on 'True Blood,' I wanted to find something antithetical to that.

I remember, when I was younger, it was such a big fantasy for me. Now that I actually have a career and have made an album, it's really surreal.

As more time passes, people see my father for what he is - one of the last of a generation who went into government to answer a call to public service rather than to pursue a career in politics.
