I turned into a workaholic to the point of where my health was in jeopardy.
From Tab Hunter
I don't care whether people like me or dislike me. I'm not on earth to win a popularity contest. I'm here to be the best human being I possibly can be.
I said, God, the press and people, they just really hate me and I'm really trying. Geraldine Page said, Listen to this, Tab. If people don't like you, that's their bad taste.
A lot has been written about Tony Perkins and myself and I figured, Let's get it straight. I had a relationship with Tony for two to three years, but those are only threads in the tapestry of my whole life.
I wasn't an actor. They they take the externals. Here I was, a kid thrown into Hollywood with a brand-new name, starring in motion pictures.
John Wayne treated me fine, but that macho stuff turns me off. It's not real.
Rock Hudson wasn't my type. He's a great guy and had a great sense of humor.
People believe what they want to believe.
I lived a very don't-ask, don't-tell life.
I learned denial from my mother. I just never confronted things and if anybody did, I just would go crazy.
