I've decided as an actor the only, the power I have really is in the performance. It's the only real place I get to sort of communicate.

When I was younger, I did work with coach. I went to this place called Actors Space in the Valley. I was pretty young, and we were doing acting and improvisation. But no, no I didn't go to RADA, I didn't do that. But I do now work with an acting coach, primarily for the initial intellectual connection to the material.

Being a star doesn't last. That's not what life should be about. It's a complete illusion that really has nothing to do with you. For me, finding out about life is the most important thing.

I'm open to whatever people want to call me.

When you find theater writing like in the theater on film but it's realistic, it doesn't matter who the character is, you want to do it.

Romance is important, but to have a friend you can use as a mirror, who can give you an objective response, that's what's really important.

What made me most courageous was that I realized I had to try to let go of that stereotype I had in my mind, that bit of homophobia, and try for a second to be vulnerable and sensitive. It was f**kin' hard, man. I succeeded only for milliseconds.
