“What really pisses me off is the abstinence plan. I can’t even….It’s so stupid….It’s so unrealistic. Oh, it just makes me angry. And it just creates more problems because it makes sex more of a secret and more of a back alley thing. This is the problem! This is exactly the problem.”

“I think it`s really important for celebrities to use their power of money and fame to get their voices out there. It`s funny to me that we`re expected to keep quiet just because of who we are. Why do I lose my right to speak my mind because I`m famous? People criticize Michael Moore, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon for standing up for what they believe in, but that`s what they do. They never pretended to be anyone else.”
