I really loved ["The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P" by Adelle Waldman]. It's having a really hot moment. Unlike many hot books, it's actually really wonderful. I tend to have that reaction: I don't want to read it if everyone thinks it's cool. It was a really interesting insight into being young and male. Now that made me feel really thankful for my boyfriend and really thankful because he wasn't like that protagonist, but I know so many people who are like that protagonist.

I had always written. I had written stories and poems. Then I started writing plays.

I've always been someone who feels better, if I see what I'm going through in a movie.

I think breakfast is the one meal when you don't have to eat animal, maybe.

I don't want to get married until all gay people can get married.
