Natalie Portman: "I'm into monogamy, but I'm not really into marriage right now. I sort of hate the legal aspect of it. What does the state have to do with it? Why are they making rules that say my lover can stay in the United States if they're foreign or share my health care benefits because I'm straight--but if you're gay you can't have that?" Scarlett Johansson: "It's just, like, bizarre to me. I feel like in 10 or 15 years' time our children are going to look back and say, 'What? You were around when gay people weren't allowed to get married?'"

--Scarlett Jehansson and Natalie Portman, in W's March issue

"I think that marriage between lesbians, between homosexuals, can be perfectly approved and that in Cuba that wouldn't cause an earthquake or anything like that."

"I think that the dynamics of gay men.... We're not just flat--there are different facets to every single person. One gay man is not going to be the same as the next, and each person has a different personality. So I think the gay thing made it easier for us all to be natural with each other."

--Project Runway's Ricky Lizalde, to AfterElton.com, February 10
