As a child, I used 'gay' as a bad word, as in, 'That's so gay.' All my friends did.

Fame, do I like it? No. It has bought a lot for me in my career, but there are a lot of downsides to it. You give up your privacy. I did it to myself but not to my family and friends. You don't ask for it. You just have to live with it.

At school, I was a tomboy, and it would be me and all my guy friends.

If I was rich enough, I would love to launch my own record label. I would love to try and give all my musically talented friends a start in the industry.

When I first started modeling, they used to bleach my eyebrows all the time.

For many of our friends who are gay, this is not a significant event in their lives. It doesn't mean that I can now claim Marilyn as a dependent. It doesn't mean that I can leave her my money without consequence. It doesn't give me the same rights as the average American.
