[Oscar Wilde's Salome screenplay] is not autobiographical in a sense where you go to my house and see my kids and stuff like that, but that's why I guess it's semi-autobiographical.

I don’t understand the hatred and fear of gays and bisexuals and lesbians… it’s a concept I honestly cannot grasp. To me, it’s not who you love… a man, a woman, what have you… it’s the fact that you love. That is all that truly matters.

I learned to wrestle, I learned defensive fighting at a young age, because when someone hit me, I would throw up and fall down.

I think what you see [in Salome the play backstage] is an artist having this fit of temperament.

Actors are always outsiders. It's necessary to be able to interpret - and that gets distorted when you become famous.

What's this thing that gets between us and Shakespeare?
