More quotes by Portia de Rossi
You don't have to be emaciated or vomiting to be suffering. All people who live their lives on a diet are suffering.
Portia de Rossi
I wondered if that's what aging felt like. That desire and reality were dueling until the day you die, that nobody every got to a place of peace. I had always wanted to get old so I didn't have to care anymore, but I began to think that it would be best just to skip the getting older part and just die.
Portia de Rossi
Life can take so many twists and turns. You can’t ever count yourself out. Even if you’re really afraid at some point, you can’t think that there’s no room for you to grow and do something good with your life.
Portia de Rossi
Restriction generates yearning. You want what you cannot have.
Portia de Rossi
I want young people to see me and think you can be feminine and smart and successful, all at the same time.
Portia de Rossi
I'm living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay.
Portia de Rossi
Everyone is their own kind of lesbian. To think there's a certain way to dress or present yourself in the world is just one more stereotype we have to fit into.
Portia de Rossi
You live with the fear people might find out. Then you actually have the courage to tell people and they go, I don't think you are gay. It's enough to drive you crazy.
Portia de Rossi
I married him for a green card. We had a really great, caring relationship it just obviously wasn't right for me.
Portia de Rossi
I have to be asked, I guess, but I love the idea of marriage. I think it's beautiful. I'm such a romantic, and I always have been.
Portia de Rossi
The diet industry is making a lot of money selling us fad diets, nonfat foods full of chemicals, gym memberships, and pills while we lose a piece of our self-esteem every time we fail another diet or neglect to use the gym membership we could barely afford.
Portia de Rossi
I had to find a relationship with someone who could simultaneously make me grow up and keep me forever young.
Portia de Rossi
I thought that if I accomplished enough, that somehow I would be let off the hook in the future. Like I didn’t have to keep striving and achieving because I had done that already, and it would add up to being enough.
Portia de Rossi
Shame weighs a lot more than flesh and bone.
Portia de Rossi
Supermodels are over, and the new picture girl has become the television actress.
Portia de Rossi
I highly recommend inviting the worst-case scenario into your life.
Portia de Rossi
Thanks so much, everybody, for making gay marriage legal, thank you for everything you've done-I'm just going to walk through that door
Portia de Rossi
Reality TV now doesn't feel reality TV when it started. The line between reality and fiction is blurred. So many of these people are phony or shallow, in their own right. If you've ever watched any of The Real Housewives, or those types of shows, they're all performing. Even though they're real people, they're performing.
Portia de Rossi
I try to be feminine, yet intellectual and smart at the same time. You don't see enough of that.
Portia de Rossi
At my high school graduation, I graduated from home school, so it was pregnant teens and gang members. But, when I got on stage, there were kids in the background who all screamed, Marry me!, very loud.
