I understand why the gay community wants to embrace actors who are out. People want to be represented.

My very first tattoo was for my dog, Zora, who died in my arms in New York. Right where her heart stopped beating I got a "Z".

People may have said, "The dude's gay; how are we going to market this?" But it's not an issue for me, because being out is very freeing.

You've just got to focus on what you have to do.

I really like the melody "Red Wine Is Good For My Heart" and people respond to it. I decided to put it on the album.

People either love me or they think I'm obnoxious. I get that.
