Sometimes when we think we’re protecting ourselves, we’re really hurting ourselves. And sometimes the people around us too.

I always hoped that I would settle down with someone. Marriage, I could really give two shits about, as an institution, but it makes things easier.

Your past comes with you no matter where you go.

I came out after safe sex was invented and I always practiced safe sex. Except for when I lost my virginity.

We had the fun of being outlaws. But there's a whole generation now coming up with new gender identities. For this generation of kids who don't think that being gay is anything special, they might be more interesting than any of us.

One night I had a dream and woke up and wrote down the dream. That was my first short story. The dream was a kind of fantasy of me getting revenge on my father.

Losing my virginity was very boring.
