Marriage Hasn't Been My Thing. But Gay

I Like To Think That If I Were Gay I Would Be Out. Rupert Everett-style.

[directing First Film:] I Was Terrified, It Was Really Very Scary Because There Is A Lot Of Responsibility. I Think I Was Terrified Because I Wanted It To Work So Much. A Lot Of Actors Direct Movies But I Thought The Stakes Were Kind Of Higher For Me Because I Really, Really Cared. [...] I Just Worked As Hard As I Possibly Could On Every Single Thing, Every Single Day. I Said That If This Failed It Would Not Be Because I Didn't Work As Hard As I Possibly Could...every Day.

Nobody Goes To A Movie And Watches The Script. There Is A Lot Of Other Stuff Going On.

But On Balance, A Performer Wants To Feel That There's Something There Which Stands Out Because You Put A Lot Of Effort Into It, A Lot Of Energy And A Lot Of Yourself Into Something. I Feel Pretty Successful About Some Movies I've Been In That Have Not Been Greeted With A Lot Of Enthusiasm And I Do Trust My Own Criteria.

My Mother Always Accused Me Of Being In Love With The Sound Of My Own Voice. When We Went On Road Trips, She'd Be Like, 'stop Singing. Be Quiet, You're Talking Just To Hear Yourself Speak.' It Was Probably True. I Like To Ramble On, Which Is Probably Why I'm Well Suited To Interviews. You Know, There's No Other Forum Where You're Literally Supposed To Sit Down And Just Talk For Hours About Yourself. I Love It.
