I always have a very strong sense of shaming oneself, and you can do that a lot in the public eye, so it's best avoided at all costs I think.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Body-shaming is something I feel really strongly about. I think about my niece, I think about my friends who have daughters being on the Internet and reading these things, and it just makes me furious. It makes me so angry.
The only real shaming I've ever experienced has been from other gay people when I reveal my politics or my religion.
I tell people to monitor their self-pity. Self-pity is very unattractive.
I'm a very private person. I find it very daunting to have to give private parts of myself away to people, you know?
I have a responsibility to not look crazy in public. I don't want to be the person where later in life when I have kids, to say, 'Don't do this' and my kids go, 'But Mom, you did it.'
I'm not going to be around for a long time, so I like to be able to look at myself in the mirror and say I talked about stuff when I'm not supposed to and didn't have to. I could be in the closet, but I feel insulted at the idea that I should be.
Whenever you do anything public, you open yourself up to be criticized.
I've learned that to expose yourself, to reveal yourself is a test of your humanness.
Self-respect is nothing to hide behind. When you need it most it isn't there.
I like exposing myself. There's not an awful lot that embarrasses me. I'm the kind of actress who absolutely believes in exposing herself.
