There will come a day when Anne Heche will be straight again.
I really, really love Hilary Clinton. I think she’s very cool. She’s out there and she’s involved.
I really have a problem with any kind of drug, I always have.
I like the energy of live performance.
There are so few women in general who aren’t completely threatened and confused by other women’s success. It’s very disappointing.
Personally, I’m waiting for caller IQ.
I don’t think somebody can just, like, wave a magic wand and make you a star.
I’ve become this sort of icon for the gay community. I don’t like the position.
Gayness is a non-issue.
There are few performers who would have had the audacity to even bring up the fact that they had been poorly reviewed.
I feel like you’ve gotta be able to get up every night in front of a live audience. Whether it’s 10 people or 50 people or a hundred people, whether you’re in a rock band or doing the comedy circuit.
You don’t need to be famous to live a life as an artist.
When I was really little, I was skinny and people laughed at me for being skinny, so, we all pay our dues for the bodies we’re in one way or another. But thank god I haven’t needed to alter it to feel good about myself.
I’m a sexual person. A lot of different people turn me on and have over the years, and I’ve always wanted to make it very clear that this was not coming from some sort of antimale point of view.
From the time I was a kid, I’d never joined groups. I hated high school groups. I hung out with hippies, musical people. I hung out with whomever I found compelling and interesting and smart. And I continued to do that throughout my life.
I was really going through a transition in my life. I was tired of feeling victimized by my career.
I was looking for something within Judaism that had a spiritual nature and not just a religious nature. So my trainer at the time was the one who took me to the Kabbalah center on my 40th birthday. I was like, “Oh, this is so cool.” I was just ready for it. I was ready for something different.
I don’t like going back and listening to myself. It makes me uncomfortable, and I know I can never emulate what I did that night, so why listen to it?
I would never wanna do a show that’s strictly maudlin and invaded my personal life and my home. I would never do that.
I really thought I wanted to be a musical-comedy star, but I lived in Phoenix and didn’t want to go all the way to New York and be that far away from home. So I thought maybe I’d be a rock ‘n’ roll singer or an opera singer.
The most important, overriding arc of my career has been that I would never be self-deprecating.
