I always was very interested in intellect and the massive world of knowledge out there, but in terms of being a kid who wanted to be treated as an equal, school is not the place.

I think I enjoy playing human beings no matter the substance of their character.

I think a lot of people are projecting their own troubles and fears concerning sexuality onto those around them, and it does result in the perpetuation of a lot of hateful notions. As long as I can remember, I've felt really horrified watching those dynamics play out.

I'm from the dirty depths of New Jersey.

I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders.

I was a weird animal in high school, doing no work and getting straight A's.

The token gay character is always so funny and so fantastic. That's happened a lot. Or they're often purely victims.
