I Am Not A Romantic Leading Man Anymore So I Don't Need To Nurture That Public Image Anymore. I Can Talk About It Now Because I'm Not Afraid Anymore . . . When I Grew Up, Being Gay, Being Sissy Or Anything Like That, Was Verboten. I Disliked Myself Intensely And Feared This Part Of Myself Intensely, And Had To Hide It And Became 'perfect Richard, All-american Boy' As A Place To Hide.
