More quotes by Portia de Rossi

My sexuality is a part of me that I really like. But it's not the totality of me.

Portia de Rossi
I don't even like watching sex scenes in movies. I have a slight prudish side to me.

My feelings for Ellen overrode all of my fear about being out as a lesbian. I had to be with her, and I just figured I'd deal with the other stuff later.
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 began to see myself as someone who can help others understand diversity rather than feeling like a social outcast. Ellen taught me to not care about other people's opinions. She taught me to be truthful. She taught me to be free. I began to live my life in love and complete acceptance. For the first time I had truly accepted myself.
Portia de Rossi
Restriction generates yearning. You want what you cannot have.
Portia de Rossi
Women in the postfeminist era, while supposedly strong and commanding and equal to men in every sense, looked weaker and smaller than ever before.
Portia de Rossi
Supermodels are over, and the new picture girl has become the television actress.
