I'm always going to support the LGBT community and equal rights for the LGBT community. That's going to be with me 'till the day I die and beyond. I mean, that's just what it is!

I'm not typically a roller coaster person, but Space Mountain I really love out of all roller coasters. That and Splash Mountain.

When I was a kid, I really loved watching 'Cinderella.' It's a fantasy, and every girl knows that real life isn't always like these movies, but as a child, I just really loved the story of 'Cinderella.' I found it to be so romantic and just a beautiful movie to watch.

It's fun when the writers take risk regardless of the reaction that it might get, and that's fun for an actor. You're able to not just play one thing all the time.

I think, at the end of the day, acting and activism are both about empathy. You're trying to get people to see other people as real and human. And to care.

I'm not one of those actors who lies about their age.

TV is a writer's medium.

There is a large group that's not represented on television - the group that falls somewhere in the middle of straight and gay. That group is looked down on, because people say, 'You can't be in-between. You have to pick one or the other.'

I'm very proud of my heritage.

I am completely grateful and pleased for the attention and the recognition I've received for playing the roles that I've played.

The reality shows are getting worse and worse. They're out of control and have been for some time.

I've never been very cookie cutter. If I choose something different from the status quo, it's my responsibility and my choice to live my life that way.

I'm not going to lie: I still have days when I walk by the mirror on my way to the shower and think, 'Oh God, I didn't just see that!'

The truth is, unlike TV and film cameras, the theater stage doesn't add 10 pounds.

Conflict happens. People aren't happy all of the time.

Adoption is a global issue these days - it's certainly current - and it's encouraging for a lot of couples whether they're straight or gay.

Theater feeds my heart and soul.

There's nothing like the first kiss once you've been pronounced husband and wife. It's such a wonderful moment!

I love challenging the status quo.

In all kinds of ways, I used to be really, really hard on myself.
