I'm the age now that Rock was when he picked me up, so I can understand how he felt - how his fame limited his freedom. You get kinder as you go along.
From Armistead Maupin
When I get back from this book tour, I'm planning to learn the internet. Maybe I can hook up in cyberspace.
It may interest you to know that my breakup with Terry and this mystery did not happen concurrently in real life. That is a writer's device, which places Gabriel under even greater pressure when the mystery begins to reveal itself.
I've included these little jokes and mysteries in my writing for the amusement of readers.
Well, maybe it has to do with the fact that I was a complete Hitchcock fanatic from age 9.
But it's amazing how many people think that gay men should slink off into the shadows when it comes to having friendships with children.
I believe very firmly that gay people of every stripe and age should be role models for all children, and that means interacting with them.
I know that when Terry and I were together, 10 years ago, he did not appreciate it when people would ask him what it is like being partnered with a celebrity. Precisely because it suggested that he had no value.
For the most part, I have a very manageable celebrity. People recognize me from time to time, and they usually say very appreciative things. It affords me a great deal of pleasure.
I can't imagine a more fulfilling thing for a writer than that you've made a strong impact on the lives of other people. Just because I've heard it before does not mean I don't want to hear it one more time.
