Things are always worse in the steady watches of the night.

I may have looked happy but inside I was hopelessly depressed.

I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.

I was happy there. Which is to say I was not unhappy there. Unhappiness and happiness I have always been able to carry about with me, irrespective of place and people, because I have never joined in.

Self-consciousness, that's what it is. Always my abiding vice. I keep seeing myself. Me watching myself watching others watch me. How do you lose that? What's the trick?

Money and fame are trashy and don't guarantee happiness, but we all refuse really to know it.

I don't watch television, I think it destroys the art of talking about oneself.
