Anne Heche Says

And for anyone who ever thought that Ellen and I broke it off because of sexuality, you couldn't be more mistaken. And for anyone who thought my mother's prayers had anything to do with me marrying a man, forget it.
Anne Heche

Are people angry with me? Sure, anything you do in your life, people are going to be angry at you.
Anne Heche

Are we changing the idea of what beauty is? Let's hope so. I'm not the typical Hollywood beauty. Let's hope we're looking at the insides of people a little more.
Anne Heche

Before, I just spewed whatever it was I thought about everything. I tend to be more contemplative now.
Anne Heche

For me to stay healthy in a relationship, the individuals have to nurture themselves.
Anne Heche

He never admitted anything, even on his deathbed. He was a deluded liar. If it weren't for my father, I don't think I would be so open. So that's a huge blessing.
Anne Heche

I believe I went through a divorce. My relationship with Ellen is no less significant as a marriage than my relationship to Coley.
Anne Heche

I do not believe that I fell in love with a woman because I was abused.
Anne Heche

I don't belong to the straights now - they didn't get me back.
Anne Heche

I have been very clear to everybody that just because I'm getting married does not mean I call myself a straight.
Anne Heche

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

I searched so hard for a part that was so complex.
Anne Heche

I told my mother at about the seventh year of therapy that I had been abused sexually by my father, and she hung up the phone on me.
Anne Heche

I was a bit of a big mouth my whole life. I'm a person who expresses themselves with a lot of openness.
Anne Heche

I was raised to pretend.
Anne Heche

I'm always honest, whether I'm in the limelight or not.
Anne Heche

I'm one of those people who was taught not to ruffle any feathers. Of course, I have no problem ruffling feathers.
Anne Heche

I'm very grateful for the platform that I've had in my life to speak out about the things I care about.
Anne Heche

It gets really tricky giving advice. The older I get, the less advice I give.
Anne Heche

It's important to talk about loving yourself and looking at your tragedies and the stuff that makes you grow.
Anne Heche

It's my job, to create a fantasy.
Anne Heche

The decisions that Ellen made on her show were between her and her producers. I supported her decisions. I was there to hug her when she got home.
Anne Heche

To have gone through so much work to heal myself and have my mother not acknowledge in any way that she was sorry for what had happened to me, broke my heart.
Anne Heche

We do not fall in love with the package of the person, we fall in love with the inside of a person.
Anne Heche

When I was with Ellen, I was telling people, If you come out, it's gonna be better for you. But I honestly don't know that.
Anne Heche

When you are coming out, you say it's for you. But when everybody says it's not OK, it becomes about that rather than about you. It disappointed me.
