While I learned, I hid out largely in the gay community, and overall it kept me very safe.

I was up watching Meet Joe Black at four AM. I was hoping Brad Pitt would die, and he was still alive at seven forty in the morning! I actually felt sorry for once, for critics.

There was a story that I was in a shoe shop and that I threw a pair of flip flops at the wall, shouting, 'I can't believe how overpriced these are!' I thought, 'Gosh, if I'm gonna take a big stand on something I would hope it would be for more than flip flops!'

Why should I downplay myself to make someone else more comfortable?

I don't believe in rules. I would be happy to be climbing a pyramid when I'm 70. And I know I will be.

I love Cate Blanchett: she takes risks, but is still refind.

There are some movies that I absolutely hate but someone else loves - people love things for different reasons.
