It's my job, to create a fantasy.

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.

My interests were in fantasy more than comics growing up.

You can also make explicit certain social problems which, again, would be prejudged or not encountered at all in real life, because people have set up defenses against it. Fantasy allows you to get past defenses.

I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you can't really do much with those in a fantasy setting.

Fantasy is toxic: the private cruelty and the world war both have their start in the heated brain.

We in this Congress have a choice. The American people have a right to exercise a choice on this issue, as to whether our men and women will continue to fight and die in a war based on deception and fantasy, or to start bringing the troops home.

One fantasy is that I just do a Don Roos movie every year if that's possible. If he'd have me.

I mean, I don't know anything else that I would try to do, but it's a very frustrating thing to do, because you are trying to take what's a fantasy in your head and make it live through the minds of 200 people.

I think sex is very interesting for most people, but I'm interested in sex as a way of communication, I'm not that interested in the fantasy version of a sex scene.

There is no winning or losing, but rather the value is in the experience of imagining yourself as a character in whatever genre you're involved in, whether it's a fantasy game, the Wild West, secret agenst or whatever else. You get to sort of vicariously experience those things.

Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.

Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters; united with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels.

I think I'll give it up, the fantasy is over, I wanted to play Spiderman, Peter Parker.

Fantasy is the only canvas large enough for me to paint on.

For the last 30 years our cinemas have been ruled by science fiction and horror. We've had some very good Fantasy films in that time period, but for my tastes I still haven't seen fantasy done to absolute perfection. That is the hope I have in this project.

The idea of it becomes a little freaky if you're dealing with someone who has trouble differentiating between fantasy and reality, but that's a concern no matter what kind of movie you're dealing with.

Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong.

I believed totally in the possibilities implied in the series. I never thought of it as fantasy. Far from it.

The minute I forget to balance reality with the fantasy, I'm going back to Virginia.

Even though my songs may sound very personal, to me most of them are fiction. It is a great way for me to be able to live a fantasy life as a writer because I get to be someone else, someplace else for three and a half minutes, just like the listener.

I absolutely adore working in the realms of fantasy.

In my sex fantasy, nobody ever loves me for my mind.

Wuxia is a fantasy world exists in everyone's mind.
