It's amazing how the world has changed because, at that time [2005], a lot of actors didn't want to play a gay role.

As an actor, no matter what, you're at the whim of so many other people all the time.

When I was 19, I thought [Brokeback Mountain] was going to be the best movie ever made. And everyone was going to see it and it was just going to be incredible. And then nobody saw it and it didn't get bought at Sundance. And it was a really great experience. Humbling. And then it's since found its way.

My mum and dad are pretty amazing chefs and they spent most of my childhood cooking really extravagant things for my sister and me.

Do you know what fear stands for? False Evidence Appearing Real.

Everybody is an actor in one way or another. We are all performing certain things.

I like that when you create you really do create with a very small group of people, and in that space, before it goes out to all these people, that's what I love.
