Each individual human being has a lot of stuff that nobody knows about. Nobody knows what anybody else is going through at any point in their lives.

You build a fan base over time, and they will accept you as long as it's good. Nothing matters as long as something's good. If it's bad, nobody will see it.

This isn't a dig on journalists, but people like to write about the 'death of blank.' The death of something.

You don't have a face to work with, so your voice has to do all the work until you see the animation. So, a lot of it I had to pull back because it was too big.

I like common sense, to try and be the voice of reason at work.

Through that, I got to know Jerry's work, and I am definitely his number-one fan right now, which is interesting because it usually works the other way around: you usually create a project based on your hero.

I didn't want the responsibility, I didn't know how to handle the responsibility of speaking for the gay community. I always felt like I owed them a huge apology for coming out too late.

Being an actor, the less people know about my personal life, the more open-minded they can be about each role I play.

When I play a gay character, I want to be as believable as possible. And when I'm playing a straight character, I also want to be as believable as possible. So the less that people know about my personal life, the more believable I can be as a character.
