Despite all the wonderful advances that have been made, it's still dangerous for an actor to talk about that in our extremely misguided culture. Look at what happened in California with Proposition 8. Please, don't pretend that we're suddenly all wonderfully, blissfully accepted.

I suppose everyone tells little white lies. Quite often they're necessary to make someone feel better or prevent feelings from being hurt. Whoppers? No, that's dangerous and they'll boomerang.

Nothing is secret once you tell anyone. If you want to keep it quiet - don't tell a soul.

Over a long period of time, living as if you were someone else is no fun.

I actually feel sorry for people who have a lot of illusions in their head about what gay is. I mean, I know some gay people who are really wonderful people.

Personally, I wouldn't advise a gay leading man-type actor to come out.

I consider myself a religious person. God is something very personal with me and I don't flaunt religion in conversation with others.
