I'm one of those old-fashioned homosexuals, not one of the newfangled ones who are born joining parades.

There's not a day in my life I'm not proud of being gay, but I just wasn't ready for that attention to be placed on it. I remember being on Oprah. Well, not on Oprah. Near Oprah. She started saying, 'Now, Nathan, you got all those girlie moves going down in 'The Birdcage,' where's all that coming from? You're so good at all that girlie stuff!'

As a kid, I loved Godot because of the poetry and the humor and the strangeness, but then as you get older, its much more resonant.

Look, I'm over 40, I'm single, and I work in musical theater - you do the math!

My mom was Jewish, so some would call me Jewish.

A video taped stage performance is just - you know, it's never gonna be the same as it is if you're sitting there live in the theatre.

But in order for anyone to become successful, sometimes you have to be that driven and focused, and maybe there isn't a lot left over for personal relationships - although I certainly have had them. It's not as if I cut myself off, but it makes them very difficult. This profession is very hard on relationships.
