When I was saving pills to kill myself, I thought there was no hope. I thought my life was over because I was a homosexual.

I saw great hope in the Sanders campaign - a flawed candidate, not perfect, but pretty damn close. Millions of young people were inspired by him.

To all my friends in Los Angeles: the Sultan of Brunei, owner of the Beverly Hills Hotel, has signed legislation calling for gay people to be stoned to death.

Even today every year we lose an awful lot of young people, teenagers, who take their own lives because they're - they are gay or transgender.

Dealing with Hollywood and commercial entertainment, you always have to worry that the political message is going to be skewed or obscured.

We spend countless hours talking about people's feelings and issues that aren't going to change anything.

The joy with which we denigrate each others' efforts, I hate that.
