I grew up without a lot of money and my parents grew up with far less money. And that's kept me in line. Really in line.

I did a real boot camp once which with The Thin Red Line which was learning military exercises and this was far less strenuous. I really had a blast. We were all kind of thrown into the woods and we didn't have any of the modern conveniences that we take for granted. Learned how to survive without anything.

Obviously I'm not there to pick up anybody, but I'm not afraid to hang out in a predominantly gay establishment.

I try to pace myself and not work for the sake of working and stick to what inspired me prior to receiving recognition.

I always had an actor within me.

My dad told me, 'It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success', and it took me seventeen and a half years.

It made me have a much greater understanding of loss, of loneliness, and the level of intense tragedy that so many people have experienced in this world, I take a lot less for granted.
