I'm very confident in my sexuality, and I really don't like talking about my romantic life in the press.

I guess there have been a few questions about my sexuality, and I'd like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there. While I prefer to keep my personal life private, I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me.

All my friends are female, I've edited for a magazine for young girls for 15 years, I relate to women, and I'm very, very close to my younger sister.

I don't always do a lot of predicting, but, when I get a really strong feeling about something, I will tell people.

I hired a publicist once I got cast in 'Passing Strange,' and one of the first conversations we had was about how I wanted to handle talking about my sexuality. I said, 'It's never been an issue for me. I want to talk about my work, but if something about myself relates to my work, of course I'll talk about it.'

I don't want to be the type of person to have my relationships plastered in magazines.

People who were close to me - family and friends - they knew about my sexuality.

If someone knows me and likes me or my work, they're more likely to allow me to tell their story. But it also cuts the other way.

I think I'm attracted to writers who tell us something about ourselves.

I don't like to write rhetorically or get on a soapbox. I try to make the stuff multi-layered, so that it always has a life outside its social context. I don't believe that you can tell people anything; you can only draw them in.
