I'll always go back to the stage.

People think they know who I am, because I've played so many very, very out gay men on stage, and they think that's me

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.

My oldest brother used to take me to the theater. The first play he took me to see was 'Black Comedy,' then he took me to see 'Butley.' We'd see all these British plays. And 'Hello, Dolly,' with Pearl Bailey. I was unconsciously thinking, 'Gee, I would love to be able to do that.'

I never like seeing myself on screen.

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.

People have to do things in their own time, and that's what I did.
