The thing with Kerry is that all of this is a natural progression, her troubles. It's a cycle.

I think they do a great job on Queer as Folk.

The story line was done in a way that's organic and was doled out very slowly in little bites. We think that's authentic for this character, that her feelings are very deeply buried or she never felt them.

Our intention is to really explore this transition and, beyond that, explore the particular things that someone comes up against when they're gay or lesbian.

We've been back since July, but I spent some time with the family in the south of France over the summer. We rented a house with another couple and took it easy.

We try to be driven by what's a good story, what's truthful, and the drama of what happens next.

I'm straight and I have a lot of gay friends.

And it's sort of an old-fashioned ER, in that it's very much about the medicine, and how these people cope. There's very little about the personal lives of the characters.

It was sort of that in-between area when people don't talk about their personal lives. That's the kind of life I think Kerry would be living now if it weren't for the Lopez character sort of outing her.

But I'm not objective when I'm acting.

I have a friend who is around my age, a little younger, and she's gay and came out to her own community when she was younger but not to her family and to the community at large.

I have so much respect for policy makers and diplomats, but I could never be a politician because of the way they dress!

The daisy by the shadow that it casts Protects the lingering dewdrop from the sun.

I'm very, very competitive. If my grandmother asks to race me down the street, I'm going to try to beat her. And I'll probably enjoy it!

I'm a very open book as far as the way I relate to people.

In all candor, the Court fails to perceive any reason for suspending the power of courts to get evidence and rule on questions of privilege in criminal matters simply because it is the president of the United States who holds the evidence.

There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.

Instead of waiting until the holiday season - when mail solicitations flood in from worthy organizations - and making a flurry of gifts because this is the time of year to give, sit down and take stock.

I always try to be optimistic, but not to the point where I'm getting on people's nerves.

I've started the John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health. The big focus is helping people get the correct diagnoses.

We all know what Parliament is, and we are all ashamed of it.

My hockey is good, but my ice skating is terrible. It's a bit of a mess to watch!

Body love is more than acceptance of self or the acceptance of the body. Body love is about self-worth in general. It's more than our physical appearance.

You grow your way to prosperity; you don't cut your way to it.

How many deaf people do you know in real life? Unless they live in a cave, or are 14, which seems to be true for most people in this business, what could I possibly tell them that they don't already know?

One of the first comic things you do is imitate.

The eye of God ends up inside, so that, in the end, you take care of judgment and punishment yourself.

I was single-minded and I had tunnel vision. Now it's time for a change.

I've met some great people that deal with me in the press. I've also met some people that were very dishonorable, frankly.

I love being the favourite of every competition.

We live in a modest system, a galaxy called the Milky Way. If we named every star in the Milky Way and put them in the Hollywood telephone directory and stacked those telephone directories up, we'd have a pile of telephone directories 70 miles high.

Peace along with freedom and justice are the pillars for attaining both security and stability and will pave the way towards the eradication of oppression, extremism, and terrorism in our world.

People in jobs that they hate must be worn out.

We need to temper the idea that this company has to have some earthshaking event every 15 minutes.
