The minute I ever start thinking about what a character would do is the minute I bring my ego into play. It's the minute I'm putting a judgment on something.

I don't really prepare for roles. I just kind of do them!

We do have a choice at the end of the day to say yes or to say no. There have been things that I have passed on where agents at the time were like, "you're crazy, why would you pass on this," because it wasn't something that I personally wanted to be a part of.

I did get bullied and I did get picked on and I did have that feeling in my gut of being incredibly self-conscious. I naturally gravitated towards my elders because I didn't know how to speak or be present with my peers.

Honestly, there was a time after I came out that I really did not think I would be working again.

It doesn't matter if a critic pans or praises my movies, I am only concerned about that one audience member and what their experience is.
