Quotes:

"I love the gays! They’re the best. If I could have any audience, it’d be the gays because they’re loyal forever."
"While I was doing Hairspray, it was like There are so many people that are discriminated against for being heavy! I never felt like I was, but that’s just because I’m a crazy girl who thinks of myself as a tall skinny girl…a tall skinny blonde girl! But doing Hairspray really showed me that there are so many young girls and so many gay men and any minority that were writing me letters. I didn’t set out to be a role model at all."
