My reasons for declaring a sexual preference had to do less with the pursuit of personal freedom than with the lust for pure shock value.
If technology has finally caught up with individual liberty, why would anyone who loves freedom want to rethink that?
As wild as I was, when the cops show up, and suddenly you're being handcuffed, it's so deeply shocking and terrifying, the loss of freedom.
But there is some way in which poets believe that and this is dangerous, too believe that their calling gives them a certain freedom. A certain freedom to live in a free way.
I was a girl and became a woman. Something about having the freedom at home to be in the position I wanted, to have the people I wanted, was empowering.
Having money has given me a certain freedom, but being in the public eye has taken away a lot.
Being a teenager is chaotic because you're kind of coming into your own, but you're not an adult; you're fighting with your parents over responsibilities and freedom.
Some people in my family achieved a lot, some people inherited a lot. But I turned my back on the whole thing.
When I was filming 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' in America, for a couple of weeks beforehand we would always fit in a family holiday in California.
When you do movies, it's you have a 3-month family and then everybody goes away and then joins another family, you know?
Your crew becomes your family and you trust the director and the other actors on the set, and it's a very safe place.
I have a significant other and a large, immediate family. No children, thank goodness. And I have a 13-year-old kitty.
I'm actually the fourth generation in my family to have no practical use for the church, or God, or religion. My children continue this trend.
If I won the lottery I'd start a charity that helped little family hardware stores, cobblers and fruit shops open in city centres.
I was born and raised in New York, but my family on both sides is of Italian descent.
I text a lot people, because it's how I stay connected with all my family and friends when I'm on set and traveling.
And when I've been away from my family and friends, I have felt good hearing some of those old songs.
I'm oftentimes called away from my family... it's rather hard for me to be away from them. We're very close.
I have three kids and a wife, and any moments that aren't dedicated to working on this film in some way, or family, are immediately reserved for sleep.
I was raised in a really terrific, close family, and I've never needed to escape anything or to really let myself go by dancing on tables.
I have a sister and her name is Mimsy, like from 'Alice in Wonderland,' so we've got some strange names in our family.
