About her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres:
Ellen and I had a three and a half year relationship that ended sadly, not because we were both women, but because we both wanted different things for our lives.
About shooting Psycho:
What Norman Bates calls for is for an actor to be able to go into their insanity... Vince is one of the few people I think who's willing to go into that duplicity in himself, and that insanity, and say, 'You know what? Now I'll show it to you.' I think that we're going to love his Norman Bates, because he's showing you himself in ways that nobody else would have the courage to do. It's an amazing performance.
And as a child, we have such a wonderful thing as children, that we can just make the best of everything, and say, Well, this must be what everybody else is experiencing, and I've got to make the best of it. You don't know that it's not good until you witness something that it seems better.
Are people angry with me? Sure, anything you do in your life, people are going to be angry at you.
Are we changing the idea of what beauty is? Let's hope so. I'm not the typical Hollywood beauty. Let's hope we're looking at the insides of people a little more.
Before, I just spewed whatever it was I thought about everything. I tend to be more contemplative now.
For me to stay healthy in a relationship, the individuals have to nurture themselves.
He never admitted anything, even on his deathbed. He was a deluded liar. If it weren't for my father, I don't think I would be so open. So that's a huge blessing.
He's the guy who is every woman's dream and the man who's every man's dream.
I believe I went through a divorce. My relationship with Ellen is no less significant as a marriage than my relationship to Coley.
I do not believe that I fell in love with a woman because I was abused.
I don't belong to the straights now - they didn't get me back.
I have been very clear to everybody that just because I'm getting married does not mean I call myself a straight.
I searched so hard for a part that was so complex.
I wanted to talk about stuff that people don't talk about so that maybe they would talk about it... So... maybe they could save themselves from going crazy.
I was a bit of a big mouth my whole life. I'm a person who expresses themselves with a lot of openness.
I was raised to pretend.
I'm always honest, whether I'm in the limelight or not.
I'm one of those people who was taught not to ruffle any feathers. Of course, I have no problem ruffling feathers.
I'm very grateful for the platform that I've had in my life to speak out about the things I care about.
It gets really tricky giving advice. The older I get, the less advice I give.
It's important to talk about loving yourself and looking at your tragedies and the stuff that makes you grow.
It's my job, to create a fantasy.
I've always kind of gone with my heart.
The decisions that Ellen made on her show were between her and her producers. I supported her decisions. I was there to hug her when she got home.
The therapists knew about my abuse. The therapists knew about the shame I was enduring... But the therapists never knew the extent of the world that I created to get out of the shame of my abuse.
The whole shooting process of Psycho was amazing in that way, because I felt like I had been chosen to remake history.
This nonsense about my mother praying for me is really making me angry. My mother never approved of my relationship with Ellen. Her hatred for our relationship is one of the many things that ultimately led to my breaking off all communication with her.
To have gone through so much work to heal myself and have my mother not acknowledge in any way that she was sorry for what had happened to me, broke my heart.
We do not fall in love with the package of the person, we fall in love with the inside of a person.
When I was with Ellen, I was telling people, If you come out, it's gonna be better for you. But I honestly don't know that.
When you are coming out, you say it's for you. But when everybody says it's not OK, it becomes about that rather than about you. It disappointed me.
