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

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.

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

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.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

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.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

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

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

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

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.
