Writing is an incredibly creatively empowering experience for me. It is the place where nobody tries to control what I'm doing.

I realize it's a cliche almost, that coming out of the closet is a very healthy and empowering thing to do, but for me, it really has been a truly wonderful thing.

Playing the priest on 'Oz' was a fantastic experience. I was very lucky.

I had studied the violin to a certain amount of success. At some point, I realized that I didn't really like the violin. I was only doing it because I could, and I was good at it, and everyone was encouraging me. But I didn't have a great love for it.

If I played characters who were like me, I'd be super bored.

Television shows and movies that are all white, I can't watch them. They totally alienate me.
