I think coming out, for me, is really about tearing down the prison wall.

I think outing people is fear-based: the fear that if we don't out them, it will make things harder for all of us. It's important to treat people with love.

For me, the litmus test to know whether or not I'm doing the right thing is to examine whether my decisions are love-based or fear-based.

Freedom' is my big buzzword in life. It's just my favorite word. And I think so many of my choices have been about gaining freedom.

Culture is the tacit agreement to let the means of subsistence disappear behind the purpose of existence. Civilization is the subordination of the latter to the former.

I think everyone can relate to that fall from grace - having life change in an instant or having to stand for some of your bad choices, that feeling of 'Nothing is ever going to be good again.'

Sometimes I think the most difficult moments in life were actually good because they made me strong. I was a child labourer. From this, I learned to stand on my own feet. So I don't want to forget the difficulty of my life.

It ended up being a very good thing, because they finally started writing for the character, and I realized that you have to go to work with a purpose. I learned from the experience and then moved on.
