For me, I'm always looking for the opportunity for a character that challenges me and lets me play two for the price of one.

I always have a backpack. I was a poet, so it reminds me of being a backpack poet.

When it's all said and done, I am secure enough with my manhood to say to the world, 'I am a male actor, and its okay for me to play a gay man.'

What we have as artists is the immortalization opportunity that others don't have, because our work is lasting; it's there forever to view.

I would say that the woman's ability to multi-task and to be maternal in instinct, it fosters a different approach to the character that makes sense as an actor.

I'm always like, 'Well, let's not rest on a critical acclaim or on a incredible review or on a great reception.'
