I used to have a blankie, and when my mom had to wash it, I would sit outside the dryer and watch it go round and round, and cry.

If I ever start talking to you about my 'craft', my 'instrument', you have permission to shoot me.

I never act my characters - I am them.

I believe you can be the person that you dream of being.

I am who I am because of the people who influenced me growing up, and many of them were gay. No one has any right to tell anyone what makes a family

I think my whole life, work has been a very important and positive thing for me. It never was something that made me feel unhappy or disengaged from life. It always makes me feel like I'm plugged in, in a really healthy way.

I am not a rodeo clown, like, "Everything is awesome!" I really worked hard on myself and things and struggled to get to a good place, to a better place.
