Rock Hudson wasn't my type. He's a great guy and had a great sense of humor.

Rock Hudson was not an educated man, but that very beautiful body of his was putty in my hands.

Directly after Rock Hudson's death came the fears that gay writers and actors and directors would be denied jobs; who knew if they would live long enough to finish a feature film or television series? And would the unions force directors to give blood tests and ban actors who tested positive?

I was told that if I wanted to be a leading man in Hollywood, I couldn't possibly be thought of as gay.

Jerry didn't know he wanted to get married until he was married.

I get why certain actors want to stay in the closet.

There were times I was told, 'You are too gay.' I turned down a lot of things because producers said they wanted me to be different. I said, 'It's not going to happen.'

But when I did think about it and looked at the whole package - the producers behind the show, the writers, the cast I would be working with - I would have been a fool to turn it down just because the role for me was another gay role.

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.

If there is a Heaven, I'm sure Rock Hudson is there because he was such a kind person.
