I could definitely empathize with the character, with the feelings of helplessness - if only the desperation and the feeling of isolation.

I can't walk down the street with my head up. I'm not a hat wearer, but now I'm a hat wearer.

It's a really subtle kind of thing. It makes me feel like Randy Harrison is not a human being to them.

I don't want to be the center of attention. My posture has changed. I walk with my head down and shoulders slumped. Suddenly I carry myself as if I'm ashamed of something.

I don't want to be Tom Cruise. I'm not after some movie blockbuster career. That's not the kind of work I'm interested in. And frankly, it's not the kind of work I'm ever going to get.

I actually have more respect for people who are in the closet. You end up exposing so much of yourself because you have to talk about your sexual life. You shouldn't have to talk about it.

I just don't think that I could be the kind of actor I want to be and not be honest with myself. Honesty is very important to me as an actor and as a person. I didn't even think about it.
