I've heard other gay people say when they were growing up they felt 'foreign.' Growing up, I was able to label these feelings as: 'I'm a Protestant.' It wasn't until I left, I thought: 'Oh, those weren't Protestant feelings.'

You don't want money to make you a social freak where you can only hang out with rich people.

The higher your profile becomes, the more aware you are that people out there might hate you.

I don't think you should have to try to be nice, I think most people are nice. I think being cheerful and nice is just a politeness.

It sounds deeply shallow, but for brief spells every member of the public can be fascinating.

You don't want to be hard to look at. Plain very good, hard to look at bad. The plain shall inherit the earth; time is our friend.

I don't think I've got bad taste. I've got no taste.
