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.

A lot of my friends are club people. It's not me. It's funny to represent that, because it's not me. I don't fit into a gay club setting. It's just ironic that I represent that somehow.

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 never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside - try to be someone I wasn't to get ahead.

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

I had been doing summer stock every summer while I was in college. We did a showcase, like most good conservatories do - monologues and things that agents and casting directors come to see. From that I got an agent.

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