In the '70s, the gay movement was really making strides. Huge strides. And then AIDS came along and slapped a judgment on it all and the Right Wing religious movement was like, 'See. This is why, we told you.' And it pushed back the movement 30 years.

I love doing scripted things. What little acting ability I have I am holding on with my hangnails.

I like to hold a book. When someone sends me a script, I ask for a hard copy or print one out.

Our black president can't say that he's for gay marriage. That is upsetting to me.

Who do you think I am, Pete Rose? I don't bet. I come from a long line of compulsive gamblers. Gambling scares me.

I won't do reality. That is done. And I don't want people following me around with a camera 24 hours a day.
