You have only a short period of time in your life to make your mark, and I'm there now.

Things hurt me now. My knees hurt, my back hurts. But your head still thinks it's twenty-three.

I'm the flavor of the month.

If you try desperately to hang on to something that used to be a success for you, it's going to go away. You have to change.

I have a real interest in pushing some of the limits of things that studios don't want to make.

I just think there are a lot of celebrities who don't feel that they have a voice. A lot of actors come from a place of fear, and that's just a general statement about actors. You're terrified the casting director won't like you, you're terrified the producer won't like you, you're terrified the director won't like you, and on and on.

It is astonishing that gay and lesbian Americans are still treated as second-class citizens. I am confident that, very soon, the laws of this nation will reflect the basic truth that gay and lesbian people - like all human beings - are born equal in dignity and rights.
