Women don't realize how powerful they are.

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.

If it weren't for women, men would still be wearing last week's socks.

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

They didn't even like Margaret Thatcher but at least there was Margaret Thatcher. There have been women, you know, Sonia Gandhi for heaven's sakes in India.

Athletes as role models and heroes is a hoax, a sick hoax. The men and women who are fighting in Iraq, they are the true heroes.

On the road to equality there is no better place for blacks to detour around American values than in forgoing its example in the treatment of its women and the organization of its family.

For a man to strike any women is most brutal, and I, as well as everyone else, think this far worse than any attempt to shoot, which, wicked as it is, is at least more comprehensible and more courageous.

Women don't like advice. They don't want you to fix their problems, they just want you to listen.

Oh yeah, I'm a huge romance fan. And some women like action.

When women go wrong, men go right after them.

Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.

I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.

The greatest public health threat for many American women is the men they live with.

The world over, give a guy money and it goes to drinking, gambling, and women. When you give a woman money, it goes to feeding, clothing, helping people.

I'm looking forward to providing the men of Seattle with an evening where they can kick back, light up a cigar and enjoy a night to themselves. Women, we can't technically keep you out, but please stay at home.
