“First of all, to say I came out implies that I was once in. Let me be straight about that, no pun intended, I never came out from anywhere. I’ve always lived my life the way I’ve wanted and have been honest with myself and everyone around me … The only frustrating part has been all the media attention. For someone like me who prefers to keep her life as private as possible, it has been disconcerting to have to define so much about myself. I don’t want to be labeled as one thing or another. In the past I’ve had successful relationships with men, and now I’m in this successful relationship with a woman. When it comes to love I am totally open. And I don’t want to be put into a category, as in ‘I’m this’ or ‘I’m that’.”
