I'm not about hurting the person I'm with.

It is because of me — I definitely think [my show] has helped the movement. Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about [same sex relationships]. Then they realized, 'Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.' The next thing you know, [gay marriage] is legal.

I mean, the media and bloggers may say otherwise, but in reality I have a lot of fans because I'm the only celebrity that actually takes time out to call them and talk to them. I don't think a lot of celebrities do that.

You don't want to be in a relationship with someone who's scared of you.

My fans and people who know of my character want to see me become more successful.

When somebody says something bad about you, they feel bad about themselves in some way.

I've learned that no matter what I do, people are going to have their opinions.
