Restriction generates yearning. You want what you cannot have.

If I was 14 and knew some gay people, I wouldn't nearly have had the struggle I had. Our world is definitely changing.

The most important thing for me was to never, ever, ever deny it. But I didn't really have the courage to talk about it. I was thinking, The people who need to know I'm gay know.

Even when I took first prize, topped the class, won the race, I never really won anything. I was merely avoiding the embarrassment of losing.

I had to find a relationship with someone who could simultaneously make me grow up and keep me forever young.

I'm really attracted to strong women. Let me rephrase that, I'm really attracted to strong female characters.

I justified it in so many ways. I had a very, very long and difficult struggle with my sexuality.
