Judith Light

There are two things that I put my focus on. One is the fight against AIDS and finding a cure. The other is human rights.

To me, celebrity doesn't mean a whole lot unless you're willing to use it. So I wanted to use it in a different way, with my AIDS work, the human rights stuff for the gay and lesbian community and the speaking I do.

It makes me so angry - there's enough food in the world but people are starving. It's all political.

When I became of service to other people I stopped worrying about my weight so much.

I was different and people made fun of me.

If you want to be a star, don't bother doing it because it ends up being very empty.

You know, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender - people are people.

I've always felt that celebrity was wonderful for a lot of the perks that it could give you.

Exactly Straight women who surround themselves only with gay men or white people who refuse any other race into their circles are unhealthy and it has more to do with one's individual fear and individual closets.

Somewhere we turn ourselves into victims instead of being the powerful women we really are meant to be.

I couldn't care less if someone is gay or straight.

I know what it feels like to be an outsider.
