I always thought it would be really, really cool to play Edgar Allan Poe, because when I was a kid, he was one of the authors who really blew my mind open to all sorts of weird dark and twisted places.

I was a cocky kid, and I felt like I was an adult at, like, 9. I think that's because my parents always treated me as an adult.

The Wizard of Oz' is my favorite movie. It was the first movie I can ever remember watching.

Getting socially outcast can be the best and most informative thing that can ever happen to you because you have to learn who you are separate from the pack.

I've fallen prey to my fair share of moments of the phobias of others and the way that that can become an attack.

I’ve had many, you know, happy ending sleepovers’in my early youth — my period of exploration. I think that’s essential. Anyone who hasn’t had a gay moment is probably trying to avoid some confrontation with a reality in their life.

Friends that I value most are people who would essentially use physical violence against me at a time when I seem to be teetering on the edge.
