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

The reality is that the "gayborhoods" are going away. It's because of many factors, including the internet and increased acceptance, but mostly it's the cost of housing.

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.

I get to interact with a bunch of young people that are up against despair constantly.

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

Most of the young people I know are working so hard, 60 or 70 hours a week. They have no time for recreation or love affairs; it's just work and struggle. I want them to endure, and find that strength and be able to continue.

I don't have any hobbies! I don't golf, I can't imagine what I would do if I retired other than get fat.
