I can't take on all the worries of the world, you know. I can only talk about being gay and being an actor. I'll have to leave those other battles to somebody else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I get told a lot that I'm kind of carving my own path. That there are not many actors who are out and are able to play straight and gay, and everyone's OK with it.
When it's all said and done, I am secure enough with my manhood to say to the world, 'I am a male actor, and its okay for me to play a gay man.'
It doesn't behoove you as an actor to sit around and worry.
You are always damned by things that you do well as an actor.
Other actors are not my concern, and that's their life and that's their journey. Everybody has to get to a point in their own time and their own way.
I'm not going to say, I'm an actor and I'm changing the world. Who cares?
It's upsetting that it is such a big deal. I wish it weren't an issue all the time. It's funny that people say it's a departure, because I've been acting since I was a child. I've played three gay roles out of hundreds.
And I'm OK being judged as an actor.
My biggest fear as an actor is being involved in something mediocre, or being mediocre myself.
I was pursuing my acting career, but I was silent on the LGBT issue, the issue that was closest to me. I knew if I came out then, I'd have had to change careers.
