I wake up every morning and it's like when you break up with somebody who has really broken your heart.

I'm tough, ambitious and I know exactly what I want.

A lot of people saw Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland as persecuted and tragic and vulnerable, and I think a lot of gay men feel that way because of their particular predicament in society and not being accepted completely.

My life is not a game that I play to entertain you.
