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.

Outside of being an actress, I feel like being out is the biggest way that gay people can change perception. There are people that give millions of dollars to gay organizations but are closeted to their own families.

Actors are such an insecure breed.

Actors know what actors are insecure about - and they're all insecure.

Everybody that's an actor leaves it for a while 'cause they ain't got a job.

Theater actors like to change character roles. They don't like to always do the same thing.

Even now, there are young actors who want careers as romantic leading men, and the best thing is not to reveal you're gay.

I suspect, for a lot of people who become actors, there's a feeling of wanting to be someone other than who they actually are.

Sometimes with people I know, they're playing the hunky action guy and there's resistance to them coming out because it's so connected to straight masculinity. There's a plastic kind of movie star who has a very short shelf with very small kind of ambition. I see that but I still don't agree with it.
