Coming out to gays is a way of affirming sanity and self-worth.

The gay community is very fickle. And I know because I'm part of it and I see it every day.

Just by being out you're doing your part. It's like recycling. You're doing your part for the environment if you recycle; you're doing your part for the gay movement if you're out.

Thanks to every gay person in public and non-public life who has come out.

So many people in the gay community have always asked me to come out, say it like it is, and help our cause. But for me... I think my biggest statement I could give to the world is to be strong being myself... you have to make something of yourself, and that's what makes us strong.

I mean, I am fully aware of my influence and my responsibility to society in general representing the gay community. But in the same time, I don't represent the entire gay community because it's a vast, vast community, as one can imagine.

A lot of people call me gay because they don't see me with anyone.

I say, 'I'm bi, my love knows no gender,' and the straight community says, 'Oh right, that's just a cover-up - you're gay!' And the gay community says, 'Yeah right, that's just a cover-up - you're gay.' They both want to push me gay.

I am a proud member of the LGBT community and could never bear the idea that someone could say I was closeted.

Growing up, one of my cousins was an out gay man.
