To play a repressed gay man, I had to explore what life was like in an era of sexual repression.

We're at risk of losing this iconic species for all time. Once it's stripped of its natural instincts, it's no longer a tiger. But there's a lot of species like that. The more intriguing thing, throughout Asia, a lot of these countries are selling off their jungle-and-forest rights for oil and for paper-and-pulp companies.

I've managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera.

Obviously, we suppress things, emotions, things during the day - thoughts that we obviously haven't thought through enough, and in that state of sleep when our subconscious, or mind just sort of randomly fires off different surreal story structures, and when we wake up we should pay attention to these things.

I've gotten to play some pretty intense characters and I tend to think it's therapeutic for me.

Obviously people don't want other people to tell them how to think or what to believe, or to tell them what's right politically and what's wrong.

Subconscious is motivated by emotion, right? Not reason.
