Heather Matarazzo Quotes
"For me I'd always known I liked women, I'd always known it as long as I could remember... [but] I never really knew the name for it... But when I was doing "Welcome to the Dollhouse" and that scene where they're like, 'Lesbo! Lesbo!' and I finally found out what lesbian meant, I was like, 'Actually, yeah, I am a lesbian."
