Nothing Is Secret Once You Tell Anyone.

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.

I've Learned, I Think, To Be Able To Distinguish Between The Necessary And The Unnecessary As Far As My Limited Outside Time Is Concerned. Saying 'no' Politely Is A Necessity If One Wants To Lead Any Kind Of Stable Life.

Over A Long Period Of Time, Living As If You Were Someone Else Is No Fun.

I Pattern My Actions And Life After What I Want. No Two People Are Alike. You Might Admire Attributes In Others, But Use These Only As A Guide In Improving Yourself In Your Own Unique Way. I Don't Go For Carbon Copies. Individualism Is Sacred!

Despite All The Wonderful Advances That Have Been Made, It's Still Dangerous For An Actor To Talk About That In Our Extremely Misguided Culture. Look At What Happened In California With Proposition 8. Please, Don't Pretend That We're Suddenly All Wonderfully, Blissfully Accepted.
