I've been really lucky with acting, in that I can do things I believe in and feel good about, and feel good about myself. If for some reason one day that ends, I won't do it anymore. If I feel like I have to compromise myself to continue to be in this industry, I don't want to do that.

There's people who watch shows while they're preparing their dinners, and they don't want to focus, and they don't want to be challenged, and whatever. And then there's people who want to really sit down and get into a character in a world, and feel like they're expanding, or they have complex relationships, or whatever.

You can't be an openly gay movie star. You can't be an openly gay pop star, really - minus Ricky Martin.

It's such a fortunate life, if you can work as an actor.

I do have designers that I love to wear, like Philip Lim and Marc Jacobs whose stuff I know will look good on my body. But still, I always like to express myself by changing things up.

As much as my parents are part of Hollywood, I have no recollection of them giving me advice about it.

When people don't know what you are, you get your heart broken daily.
