Before, I just spewed whatever it was I thought about everything. I tend to be more contemplative now.

I believe I went through a divorce. My relationship with Ellen is no less significant as a marriage than my relationship to Coley.

And for anyone who ever thought that Ellen and I broke it off because of sexuality, you couldn't be more mistaken. And for anyone who thought my mother's prayers had anything to do with me marrying a man, forget it.

Before, I just spewed whatever it was I thought about everything. I tend to be more contemplative now.

When you are coming out, you say it's for you. But when everybody says it's not OK, it becomes about that rather than about you. It disappointed me.

When I was with Ellen, I was telling people, If you come out, it's gonna be better for you. But I honestly don't know that.

Are people angry with me? Sure, anything you do in your life, people are going to be angry at you.

It gets really tricky giving advice. The older I get, the less advice I give.

I searched so hard for a part that was so complex.

I'm always honest, whether I'm in the limelight or not.

For me to stay healthy in a relationship, the individuals have to nurture themselves.

I was a bit of a big mouth my whole life. I'm a person who expresses themselves with a lot of openness.

To have gone through so much work to heal myself and have my mother not acknowledge in any way that she was sorry for what had happened to me, broke my heart.

We do not fall in love with the package of the person, we fall in love with the inside of a person.

Are we changing the idea of what beauty is? Let's hope so. I'm not the typical Hollywood beauty. Let's hope we're looking at the insides of people a little more.

The decisions that Ellen made on her show were between her and her producers. I supported her decisions. I was there to hug her when she got home.

It's my job, to create a fantasy.

I have been very clear to everybody that just because I'm getting married does not mean I call myself a straight.

I do not believe that I fell in love with a woman because I was abused.

I told my mother at about the seventh year of therapy that I had been abused sexually by my father, and she hung up the phone on me.

He never admitted anything, even on his deathbed. He was a deluded liar. If it weren't for my father, I don't think I would be so open. So that's a huge blessing.

I put myself on the line with my truth and my sexuality. That is my choice. My choice.

I was raised to pretend.

It's important to talk about loving yourself and looking at your tragedies and the stuff that makes you grow.

I'm very grateful for the platform that I've had in my life to speak out about the things I care about.

I don't belong to the straights now - they didn't get me back.

I'm one of those people who was taught not to ruffle any feathers. Of course, I have no problem ruffling feathers.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

It's funny, 'cause it seems like just yesterday that I was the youngest player just starting out. But now there are young players all over the league, and they'll ask me questions about playing overseas or finding an agent.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

I am now convinced that theoretical physics is actually philosophy.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

Although Alchemy has now fallen into contempt, and is even considered a thing of the past, the physicain should not be influenced by such judgements.

The kinds of shows that seem to work now, the comedy shows, are those which require very little attention. They're superficial and I like articulate comedy.

I'm a more mature actress now.

Before and during the first phase of the war his administration repeatedly maligned the UN but now, that Iraq has turned into a quagmire, it is asking the UN for help.

They haul you up there for, you know, week after week in this kind of star chamber proceeding. Then at the end of it they say, well, we found nothing, but now it's time for special counsel.

I have in hands, now, specimens of bottom from t he Gulf Stream, obtained by Lieutenant Craven, and I can say that they are among the most interesting that I have ever seen.

From now on it is only through a conscious choice and through a deliberate policy that humanity can survive.

So I am one of those bass players who can do something and musically, it was back then and now it is even more, if you noticed on the new album, I am not playing all the time anymore.

Had the Hebrews not been disturbed in their progress a thousand and more years ago, they would have solved all the great problems of civilization which are being solved now under all the difficulties imposed by the spirit of the Middle Ages.

I had to overcome the name Rock. If I'd been as hip then as I am now, I would have never consented to be named Rock.

I'm working harder than ever now, and I'm putting on my pants the same as I always have. I just get up every day and try to do a little better than the day before, and that is to run a great restaurant with great food, great wine, and great service. That's my philosophy.

The fact is, Latinos now own their own lives and I believe they can afford to look back without judgment.

Terrorism, ladies and gentlemen, in my eyes I have a very, very, very simple explanation. Gangs of criminals, killers, used unfortunately by certain governments in the past for political purposes, who are on their own now as gangs.

When I read a book I seem to read it with my eyes only, but now and then I come across a passage, perhaps only a phrase, which has a meaning for me, and it becomes part of me.

That music and the lyrical aspects of Razorblade Romance is so personal to me that, now with me being grown up a bit and meeting new people and doing new things, it makes me look at the same things I was writing about back in the day through a different colored lens.
