(On comments by Richard Chamberlain and Rupert Everett about not coming out) “I think it’s so mean-spirited. If you’re living a lie, that’s not healthy, and I think it is really irresponsible of [Chamberlain] and Rupert to say these things…But it’s not about your work. It’s about how you exist as a person in the world, and the idea that your work is more important than you as a person is a horrible, horrible message. I always think about a little gay boy in Wisconsin or a little lesbian in Arkansas seeing someone like me, and if I cannot be open in my life, how on earth can they? Anyway, it’s an academic question: how can you know [that coming out affects your career]? Some people get less work than others and it has nothing to do with sexuality.”

I can be pretty nasty. Not ‘mean’ nasty, but nasty by your parents’ standards. But not by my parents’ standards, because my parents were nasty for their day.
I’m afraid of making a mistake. I’m not totally neurotic, but I’m pretty neurotic about it. I’m as close to totally neurotic as you can get without being totally neurotic.
Nudity is who people are at the most interesting point of the evening, when they take off their protective layer, when no one is watching.
