There’s this idea out there that, had I not been trans, the leaks and stuff would never have happened. But to my mind, those are two completely separate things.

Since my worldview has expanded, I don’t consider myself working class anymore, and I’m attracted to playing characters who go through a similar evolution.

I was attracted to law school because I believed it would help me prepare for a career in the real world.

When I heard the news of Waldemar de Carvalho issuing a ruling to approve gay conversion therapy in Brazil, after it was banned for nearly 20 years, my heart broke.

I was attracted to people who were funny because I wanted to be in that world.
I just grew up watching a lot of movies. I’m attracted to this genre and that genre, this type of story, and that type of story. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn’t quite what I’m seeing – taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I’ve never seen before.
My faith was undermined by the same sort of things that make people skeptics of religion in general. Part of it was, there was no real place for me in Judaism.

I’m apparently attracted to things that are on the edge of what America really wants to watch: ‘Six Feet Under,’ ‘Sports Night,’ ‘Dirty Sexy Money,’ and ‘Parenthood’ were always struggling in the ratings. It was kind of heartbreaking not knowing if we get to come back every season.
My initial thoughts of becoming a lawyer changed in high school as I became more attracted to math and science and began talking about being an engineer.
The No. 1 thing I am earnestly attracted to is intelligence.

We women are the same: I am always more attracted to the dangerous mystery man with piercing eyes and stubble rather than the clean-shaven ‘puppy dog’ type who is probably much better for me in the long run.
