Parents need to teach their children principles of respect and acceptance.

Gay kids need to stop killing themselves because they are made to feel worthless by cruel and relentless bullying.

I think it's like, you know, you can't get ahead of yourself, because no amount of success or exposure or opportunity is going to really matter or be ultimately fulfilling unless you can be totally present in what you're doing right now.

I recognized that I had a window of opportunity that had opened because of my exposure as an actor.

'Heroes' really changed the game for me in a way that nothing before it had.

I came up during the 'Star Wars' generation and that was sort of the thing I plugged into much more. It was a little before my time and I think it was sort of grappling with these intellectual ideas that were a little advanced for my young mind. At the time. But now I have a much deeper appreciation for it.
