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

It's good to get out of the closet and talk about it and find out other people's views.

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.

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.

They don't teach you just how to be in school. There's no class on that. There’s no multiple choice test for Why Do I Feel This Way?

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 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.
