I don't define myself. I'm just a woman in love with another woman.

I go for my completely routine mammogram and then I get a call from my gynecologist. And she says, 'Well, I have some - it's not such great news, but here it is, but it's very small and we're just going to get in there and take it right out, right away, and then you'll probably have radiation.'

I love spicy food.

A couple of hanging glands have nothing to do with making someone a man.

I love a warm bath at the end of a day.

I'm not adopting a baby.

My girlfriend is much better than I am at working hard then resting, and she demands that from me, too. She insists on having time when we don't do anything. We leave the housework and watch a movie.

In terms of sexual orientation I don't really feel I've changed. I don't feel there was a hidden part of my sexuality that I wasn't aware of. I'd been with men all my life, and I'd never fallen in love with a woman. But when I did, it didn't seem so strange.

I am not a redhead, I'm a blonde.

I've always been wary of marriage.

I don't have Steve. There is no having the Steve.

I think women still want to be married. But I don't think they'll do anything to get married anymore.

Your good friend has just taken a piece of cake out of the garbage and eaten it. You will probably need this information when you check me into the Betty Crocker Clinic.

My private life is private. But at the same time, I have nothing to hide. So what I will say is that I am very happy.

I think my least healthy habit is running around too much. And I think I'm getting better about it as I'm getting older.

I'm a total theater junkie - whether I'm working on a stage or sitting in a seat. I am always looking for a great play and a great part to do.

I do tend to be an analyzer. I'm an old English major from way back, so I do have fun tearing apart texts and trying to find the hidden secrets and the subtexts in there.

If you make the decision to send your kid to public school don't even look at private schools. Just shut the door. Just turn off the TV. And then you don't even have to worry about preschool. You have to worry about what's good for your kid, but you don't have to worry about how to position yourself.

In a school where everyone is famous or rich or whatever, you have a culture, 'What does your dad do?' 'What does your mom do?'

I never felt like there was an unconscious part of me around that woke up or that came out of the closet; there wasn't a struggle, there wasn't an attempt to suppress.

I met this woman, I fell in love with her, and I'm a public figure.

Nobody ever really thought of me as sexy, right? They thought of me as smart and quirky.

I feel that between my experience and my mother's, breast cancer is a little bit like someone who lives next door. I know what that person looks like and what their daily habits are.

Most child actors, once they hit 18, once they hit 21, that's it. Even teenage kids often don't make the transition.

Unlike me, a lot of child actors are very short, which is why they work. So when they're 15 they can play 11 or when they're 18 they can play 14. They look young for so long, they have abilities a much younger kid wouldn't have.

I believe we all have different ways we came to the gay community and we can't and shouldn't be pigeon-holed into one cultural narrative which can be uninclusive and disempowering.

Women are half the population and they know how to take care of themselves, if they are only given access to health care.

I have a lot of shoes.

I think TV is the only place left where you can have a midsize something.

I had a lumpectomy. It wasn't that bad. Six and a half weeks of radiation.

I don't define myself. I'm just a woman in love with another woman.
