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

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.

We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

I love my DSL, but I love my WiFi more. And I probably get on the Internet 40 percent to 50 percent more because of the combination of those technologies.

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together.

Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.

People react to fear, not love; they don't teach that in Sunday School, but it's true.

I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.

There is love there. And then there's times when I can't even stomach Simon. You don't have to sit next to him. That's all I have to say.

When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.

One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.

I love pasta with the homemade marinara sauce I had as a kid.
