I have to accept the fact that, no matter what I do, it's going to annoy someone.

I have my aluminum siding business, and that's going like a house afire.

There's not a day in my life I'm not proud of being gay, but I just wasn't ready for that attention to be placed on it. I remember being on Oprah. Well, not on Oprah. Near Oprah. She started saying, 'Now, Nathan, you got all those girlie moves going down in 'The Birdcage,' where's all that coming from? You're so good at all that girlie stuff!'

Look, I'm 40, I'm single, and I work in musical theater - you do the math!

People have to do things in their own time, and that's what I did.

It's a cliche, but there really is no handbook about the celebrity thing; you have to figure it out as you go along.
