Taking on a bi-sexual role in Bessie:

I know what I’m doing in my private life, and I know what I’m not, and I know me. And people who are not privy to that don’t know; they don’t know what they think they know. This is Bessie’s story. It has nothing to do with my life…..There’s a difference for me between being honest and sharing my business with people who don’t need to know my business. So why would I start doing anything differently now because of ‘Bessie’?

Why she feels there’s so much speculation about sexuality: 

I think it’s human nature. People have curiosity about people’s sexuality, because we’re curious about sex. I think the problem is we don’t talk about it enough. We act like sex is bad sometimes. We act like love is bad sometimes, or makes you weak somehow.

Avoiding the scrutiny of tabloids:

At some point I told all my friends, ‘Don’t come to me with negative stuff in a magazine’. Let them write whatever they want to write. I can’t control it.

Where she draws the line with the media/tabloids:

Don’t write about her family. Then I’m ready to not only sue you, but put a knuckle sandwich in your mouth. That’s where my Jersey roots come out!
