I loved my role on Who's the Boss? There is always some of me in every character that I play.

There are two things that I put my focus on. One is the fight against AIDS and finding a cure. The other is human rights.

You know, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender - people are people.

I wish we lived in a society that made it safe and provided the courage for everyone to come out.

My weight went up and down like a yo-yo.

You have to find the peace and patience within yourself to be a model and an example to others and not judge.

We all have our own closets to come out of.

To me, celebrity doesn't mean a whole lot unless you're willing to use it. So I wanted to use it in a different way, with my AIDS work, the human rights stuff for the gay and lesbian community and the speaking I do.

If you want to be a star, don't bother doing it because it ends up being very empty.

You really have to listen to yourself and know if what someone is saying is true for you.

It frustrates me about myself when I see I'm not taking the road that demands more of me.

But celebrity really doesn't mean anything unless you use it for finding some way to give back and I've always felt that way.

Women don't realize how powerful they are.

The gay community just recognizes what their closets are and we straight have to spend years trying to figure out which closet we are trapped in.

I couldn't care less if someone is gay or straight.

I love being able to make people laugh.

When I became of service to other people I stopped worrying about my weight so much.

It makes me so angry - there's enough food in the world but people are starving. It's all political.

People can only do what they are ready to do when they are ready to do it.

I've always felt that celebrity was wonderful for a lot of the perks that it could give you.

Exactly Straight women who surround themselves only with gay men or white people who refuse any other race into their circles are unhealthy and it has more to do with one's individual fear and individual closets.

I know what it feels like to be an outsider.

The more we can purge ourselves of the diseases we create the more we can become magnificent people.

I was different and people made fun of me.

I got into theatre very early, so yes I was surrounded by gay people quite early and frequently.

Bigotry or prejudice in any form is more than a problem; it is a deep-seated evil within our society.

The message of transformation and how we all can live from our heart, not just from our head, was a very important message for me to learn in my own life.

Yet I've discovered that how I look is not a function of anything as ephemeral as my hair.

Somewhere we turn ourselves into victims instead of being the powerful women we really are meant to be.

I learned so much from Tony Danza I learned so much about myself.

I found that the body, mind and spirit are all connected. They are not separate pieces.

Bigotry or prejudice in any form is more than a problem it is a deep seated evil within our society.

You know gay lesbian bisexual transgender people are people.

The more we can purge ourselves of these diseases we create, the more we can become magnificent people.

To make a long story short, there's nothing like having a boss walk in.

Whether they run a record company or a grocery store, every boss will tell you you're in big trouble if you're borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We've got to start getting the deficit down right now, not next year.

As an individual, not as the boss of a company, I am very interested in motor racing.

I have learned that trying to guess what the boss or the client wants is the most debilitating of all influences in the creation of good advertising.

Too many people in government seem to think they are above regular folks, and I said I would expect humility in the way each member of my team served- that they would recognize that the taxpayer is boss.

The type of contract between players and producers is, I feel, antiquated in form and abstract in concept. We have no privacies which producers cannot invade, they trade us like cattle, boss us like children.

To me, success was not having to have a boss and not having a day job. I've been living my own version of success since the early '90s when I first got signed. I haven't had a job since then.

Well, what I tried to do is to just listen to my voice, because my voice is my boss. She decides.

The speed of the boss is the speed of the team.

New York State is upside down and backwards; high taxes and low performance. The New York State government was at one time a national model. Now, unfortunately, it's a national disgrace. Sometimes, the corruption in Albany could even make Boss Tweed blush.

I loved my role on Who's the Boss? There is always some of me in every character that I play.

I've never wanted to be the boss.

That's my main flaw: I always think authority figures or my boss is going to think something I do is funny. And usually they don't.

We were a fast-growing company, and I was a demanding boss.
