If you play a gay role, it sticks more than it does if an actor were to play a murderer or a psychopath.

I get interested in writers who are enigmatic.

In those days I was mortified, because I was a serious actor in my own mind, and then all of a sudden I'm this hunk.

I'd like to find great roles close to home and work on great projects while staying near my family. My family's the most important thing to me right now.

I like to keep my expectations low and my aspirations high in my career and my life. That way I'm pleasantly surprised more often than desperately disappointed.

What's important about me is that I really have, in ways I never could have foreseen when I was young, a writing career that's reached a lot of different places.

My mother is massively into sailing, so we always had Musto clothes, and it went on from there, really. I wouldn't say it's a career in fashion. The range is all day-to-day stuff that I'd put on and use myself.

I work in the film business, where schmoozing is an art form, lunch hour lasts from 12:30 until 3, and every meeting takes an hour whether there's an hour's worth of business or not.
