We don't ask the actor playing James Bond what his sexual preference is. So I don't know what it is, really, with trying to out actors who portray gay characters on television. But it is some sort of fascination in society.

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.

I love working in films.

My films might have been queer - because I was - but they were not gay.

I'm not a straight man, but I play one on television.

I'm very interested in portraying homosexual man and woman in my films because I'm interested in their lives and their problems.

I'm a huge fan of the 'James Bond' genre.

Gay men in a very real way created my career.

I've got quite a big gay following. I played a lesbian prostitute in the TV series 'Band Of Gold' but I think my following really grew when I played one in the film 'Imagine Me & You,' with Piper Perabo.

I could not - and I still cannot - see a sustainable career as a filmmaker in which I focus fully on our gay stories.
