I stumbled into acting and just loved it. I deferred law school - and I'm still deferred.

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
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
You don't have to be emaciated or vomiting to be suffering. All people who live their lives on a diet are suffering.

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.

In high school I had sex with girls quite a few times. They were straight women who I convinced to jump in the sack with me.

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.

I would eat 300 calories a day - a lot of Jell-O and no-sugar everything, of course. I was doing Pilates, weight-training, circuit training over lunch I would run on a treadmill in my dressing room with a fan on my face so I wouldn't sweat my makeup off.

We must be able to inspire. That's my goal in acting.

I married him for a green card. We had a really great, caring relationship it just obviously wasn't right for me.

Restriction generates yearning. You want what you cannot have.

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
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 was very sexual from a very young age.

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.

When you have the paparazzi hiding in the bushes outside your home, the only thing you can control is how you respond publicly.
