"I think Chaz is great, he is an activist and has a lot to say," Arquette told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview at the Los Angeles Confidential Pre-Emmy party at the London West Hollywood.

"It’s really admirable of him to step out and put up with the criticism and be himself, and be comfortable with himself. It’s just been great," explained Arquette, 40, whose older sibling Alexis Arquette is a transgender actress and musician.
