"To me, celebrity doesn't mean a whole lot unless you're willing to use it. So I wanted to use it in a different way, with my AIDS work, the human rights stuff for the gay and lesbian community and the speaking I do."
"When I became of service to other people I stopped worrying about my weight so much."

'Way to go' Judith!!
Yes, if we got out of our heads more and do something for somebody, we wouldn't worry so much.
I have to say I fully agree with her one this. I have been on 2 non-profit groups to help raise money for the Gay/ Lesbian/ Trans. AT work I do nto hide what I am either, but I do not flaunt it. I am not a flamer.
Be proud of who and what you are.
Thanks

She's a great lady! I had the rare opportunity to be in her presence at a Point Foundation event in 2005 held in a studio apartment in NYC.
Although I didn't get to speak to her directly, just hearing her speak out about her support of such a fantastic cause, gave me a moment to pause about what it means to give back.

I am selfishly redirecting you to my blog today, because my friend Brian needs your support about adopting a puppy that needs a loving home. Please visit and leave your comments of support for him at: http://www.madtexter.com/2010/09/pause-for-paws.html
Go Judith!
