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

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.

You have your private life and you have your public life, and just don’t let them interfere.

I've been given so much, and if I can just give back a tenth of what I've been given, then it's all worth it.

If I was just considered a looker and wasn't considered an actor, where would I be in 10 or 20 years from now?

But especially if you have the wrong people within your circle. Truthfully, at the end of the day, no one cares about you in this business whether they are your agent or your manager or your publicist.

There is going to be a hundred thousand doors slammed in your face before one opens, so feel ok about taking rejection.
