I think for gay people to see gay people living honestly about everything they do is really a contribution.

I think the gay community, as a whole, is slighted by high-profile figures who remain in the closet. But I think that a lot of times we need to ask ourselves what that person's role in our community would be if they were out of the closet.

I'm not a literary writer who is wedded to notions of realism and fiction. I believe that you can write anything if you can feel it convincingly.

I am one of those people, and I may be personally biased, who wishes that I had some place to come out of the closet besides a bar.

If you aren't following your bliss, there is a discrepancy in your psychology that needs to be healed, it needs to be mended.

This is not an international thriller so much as a fiercely literate attempt to subvert the thriller genre itself.

Honestly, in retrospect, I would wish for future generations to have the ability to have a coming out process that was less alcohol-soaked than mine was.
