It's only fair that stable gay relationships of long standing should have the same rights and responsibilities as married couples. I know the image of gay marriage is to some people horrific and ludicrous.

I've had enough of being a gay icon! I've had enough of all this hard work, because, since I came out, I keep getting all these parts, and my career's taken off. I want a quiet life. I'm going back into the closet. But I can't get back into the closet, because it's absolutely jam-packed full of other actors.

The audience's expectations are ever-present.

I suspect the base that I'm working from is not particularly one of inquiry, but of memory of what I did last time.

[There's] nothing special about an actor's imagination, except that he uses it a lot.

My acting stopped being about disguise and became about truth which suits the camera, so my film career took off when I came out.

The performance is created by the director. The actor is the material. And I think that has to be true.
