I enjoy any type of physical transformation. I enjoy working with the hair and makeup department and I enjoy watching people be very good at their jobs.

Go boldly and honestly through the world. Learn to love the fact that there is nobody else quite like you.

I am a frighteningly thorough person.

I've worked every day since I was 10. I don't know how to do anything else. There is nothing else I'd rather be doing.

It's almost a problem how much I enjoy my work.

Realizing that other people have a problem with [homosexuality] was the weirdest thing for me. As a kid it wasn't even something that was mentioned. It was never something that was even explained to me. It was just, "That's Mark and he's gay." Mark was just another friend of my dad's who would talk about his boyfriend instead of his girlfriend. I was 5. I didn't care. It seemed perfectly normal, and still does.

I was very much a product of the public-school system. There was only one other kid in my class who had parents not involved in the stock market or law.
