happier love
I have to be asked, but I love the idea of marriage. I'm happier than I ever thought I could be, Ellen's incredible.
changed due identify largely trying
When I was 15, I changed my name legally. I think it was largely due to my struggle about being gay. Everything just didn't fit, and I was trying to find things I could identify myself with, and it started with my name.
time
The first time I was paparazzi'd, I thought I was being investigated for an insurance claim.
lines fine fine-lines
There's a fine line between being private and being ashamed.
self-esteem insecure avid
If your self-esteem really does depend on how you look you're always going to be insecure. There's no way you can get around it because you are going to age. Even if you get that perfect body you're going to get older and older and older. You can't avid it. So you have to somehow, at some point, take control and sift the focus and decide who you are, what you can contribute to the world, what you do and say, is so much more important than how you look.
sex sides scene
I don't even like watching sex scenes in movies. I have a slight prudish side to me.
self-esteem use fad-diets
The diet industry is making a lot of money selling us fad diets, nonfat foods full of chemicals, gym memberships, and pills while we lose a piece of our self-esteem every time we fail another diet or neglect to use the gym membership we could barely afford.
gay facts actresses
I didn't choose the fact that I was gay, but I did choose whether to live my life as a gay woman-that was the terrifying thing for me. Especially being a gay actress.
strong men eras
Women in the postfeminist era, while supposedly strong and commanding and equal to men in every sense, looked weaker and smaller than ever before.
would-be add hook
I thought that if I accomplished enough, that somehow I would be let off the hook in the future. Like I didn’t have to keep striving and achieving because I had done that already, and it would add up to being enough.
couple water goes-on
Even if I'm hormonal and I feel like I've got a couple pounds of water weight, I will never starve myself, I will never, ever go on a diet.
goes-on diets
I never, ever, restrict food, and I will never go on a diet ever again.
caring cards green
I married him for a green card. We had a really great, caring relationship; it just obviously wasn't right for me.
hands body
I love body parts, especially hands.
