"The whole character of Justin and the club life he lives - I have no experience with it. It's really foreign to me, which is annoying, but that's just how it is."

Experience

"I actually have more respect for people who are in the closet. You end up exposing so much of yourself because you have to talk about your sexual life. You shouldn't have to talk about it."

Life

"I wasn't being bullied at school at this point. I had a group of friends, and I was isolated because I wasn't communicating with my parents. I wasn't telling them what I was going through."

Being

"I can't walk down the street with my head up. I'm not a hat wearer, but now I'm a hat wearer."

Now

"I never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside - try to be someone I wasn't to get ahead."

Career

"I don't know for Justin; he's always looking for meaning out of his relationships with people. I don't think he's as trapped into the drug thing as a lot of the others are."

People

"It's nice to see that people in Middle America are really affected."

People

"By the time I came out, that kind of stopped it. The bullying stopped when I claimed myself and proved that I wasn't afraid. A lot of it was when I was hiding when I was younger."

Time

"I'm confident in my ability to maintain a career. I don't know if it will be doing either independent films or plays in New England."

Ability

"It's upsetting that it is such a big deal. I wish it weren't an issue all the time. It's funny that people say it's a departure, because I've been acting since I was a child. I've played three gay roles out of hundreds."
