gptkbp:famousQuote
|
"Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there."
"I have a great deal of respect for the audience."
"The only thing I can do is to be myself."
"I am proud to be gay."
"I don't think of myself as a gay actor, I think of myself as an actor."
