Quote

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

I chose to treat the homosexuality like I would treat any other form of sexuality.

I don't think homosexuality is a choice. Society forces you to think it's a choice, but in fact, it's in one's nature. The choice is whether one expresses one's nature truthfully or spends the rest of one's life lying about it.

I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.

In terms of my work, I've never been reticent in terms of defining my sexuality. I write about my life.

I was raised thinking I'd burn in hell for being gay, but I didn't have a choice. It's just who I am.

I must stay true to myself and take my own path all the way.

I second-guess myself all the time. I make a decision and then wonder if I made the wrong choice.

I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.

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.
