Marriage still means a lot more in the country I come from than it does here. I don't think there's anything to be gained by it for the couple. But for children I think it's an important thing.

I have never thought about my sexuality being right or wrong. To me it has always been a case of finding the right person.

I mean, it is the perfect situation to really love someone to death and to want to rip their clothes off at the same time, isn't it?

[Tabloids] could call you a child molester, I suppose, but they just go for the two things they think people are most likely to believe and that will most offend yourself and your popularity. My skin hardened to all that stuff years ago.

Stars are almost always people that want to make up for their own weaknesses by being loved by the public and I'm no exception to that.
