“I've been very lucky. I've had my work, and I've had my private life, and I've been able to keep them separate.”

“I'm not a romantic, I'm a domestic. I love dividing laundry.”

“I can't say I was ever in the closet. I never was. I was a private person, that's all.”

“We're all multi-faceted, but we present only one facet to the world.”

“It's a great relief to be yourself. It's a great relief to not have to be a great man.”

“When I was growing up, there was no positive information about being gay.”

“My life has been a search for love and joy and peace.”

“I had to be public. I was done with the hiding.”

“All of us have a lot of sides to ourselves, but we're taught to be just one person.”

“I'm not a leading man anymore. I'm a character actor.”

“Work is my hobby, staying sober is my job.”

“I loved being a star. It was a big, big deal for a boy from Beverly Hills.”

“I just feel that I'm a very fortunate person to have a passion in my life, which is acting.”
