Everyday is a bank account, and time is our currency. No one is rich, no one is poor, we've got 24 hours each.

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.

I do believe in the Kinsey scale, I think many of us fall in different places on the scale and I think it's for each one of us to decide where we are on the scale, it's not for someone else to decide for us.

I think dragging someone out of the closet who isn't necessarily engaged in anti-gay activities can have a destructive effect on them and on us. I don't want unwilling gay people advocating on my behalf; I think that's a challenge.

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

I don't want to judge anyone's sex life - but I worry that those are the only options we are giving to our young people.

Ultimately, I felt fortunate, because in many ways I did identify with aspects of being gay that were very stereotypical. I was a big theatre kid in high school, I was creative, I was very emotionally sensitive, even hypersensitive. I loved female divas.
