Angie Harmon covers 'More' mag's September issue, out Aug. 27.

Angie Harmon, 41, star of TV's Rizzoli & Isles, isn't afraid to declare her political affiliation.

"I'm a liberal Republican," she says in Moremagazine's September issue, out Tuesday. "We actually exist."

Of being a political activist in Hollywood, the star says: "Call it naïveté or stupidity, but I didn't know that unless you are a Democrat, you aren't allowed to talk politics in Hollywood."

Some other tidbits from the chat:

On therapy: "I believe in therapy. I don't believe in staying in it for life. When you have an issue, you go talk to someone, get your issue taken care of, then you go live your life, and you're armed with the tools to do it correctly."

On her former modeling career: "I loved every moment of it…I'm in Azzedine Alaïa's factory and doing fittings [talking to] Giorgio Armani—he was so interesting. I do wonder now if Karl [Lagerfeld] or Giorgio would remember me, because they've seen so many faces since mine."

On homosexuality: "Whether we're gay or straight, it doesn't matter. We're all women. We all have the same wonderful situations happening to us, the same horrific situations. We all get our hearts broken."
