If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not.

For some strange reason, my gay life didn't get easier when I came out. Quite the opposite happened, really.

When I was I younger I didn't want to be gay. Not because I was scared of the sexual thing; I didn't want to be a clone. Now this was in the late '70s.

I was a closet straight. I think I wanted to be gay because I thought it was arty and interesting. And also, I was phenomenally shy with girls.

All I wanted was to be straight so my parents could be happy. They never, never, never knew.

All I wanted was to be straight so my parents could be happy.

Most simply but profoundly, I chose to live an honest life, which I think as a gay person is not a given.

I kind of live my life as an example, and I just never felt like I had to be on the cover of a magazine announcing that I was gay; it's just who I am. I just live my life, and I never really thought about it.

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.
