My desire to be valued is manifested in cultivating relationships with my friends and family.

I recognized that I had a window of opportunity that had opened because of my exposure as an actor.

I'm also really fulfilled by having a production company and producing movies, and learning about how that works and happens. It's a totally, entirely separate skill set and it's one that I happen to also enjoy. So, I intend to cultivate all of those things until I can't anymore. That's my goal. I love to be challenged and busy, and so far, so good. I'm just going to do whatever I can to continue to encourage that.

I found myself in a pattern of being attracted to people who were somehow unavailable, and what I realized was that I was protecting myself because I equate the idea of connection and love with trauma and death.

I had to learn how to modulate my performances and interpretations of these roles in auditions for the camera.

Again, as a gay man I look at that and say there's a hopelessness that surrounds it, but as a human being I look at it and say 'Why? Where's this disparity coming from, and why can't we as a culture and society dig deeper to examine that?' We're terrified of facing ourselves.

Other actors are not my concern, and that's their life and that's their journey. Everybody has to get to a point in their own time and their own way.
