Bruce Jenner

I put myself on the line with my truth and my sexuality. That is my choice. My choice.

Anne Heche

My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.
