A lot of my friends are club people. It's not me. It's funny to represent that, because it's not me. I don't fit into a gay club setting. It's just ironic that I represent that somehow.

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

It's a clique that I've never been a part of. It's not like I identify them in a negative way.

It makes me proud, and it makes me scared. More than anything, I want to be an actor and I want to keep working, and I think there's a danger in being perceived as a poster boy for something.

I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people; we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart; there's been people who have left my life, and I don't have a problem with that. This is a transitory world; we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it and holding on.

I just have a great life. I know great people. I've had great relationships - all different kinds of relationships.

The family is very important. They make me feel good always because if I won, when I started to be famous, the relationship never changed with my friends and family.

I've always had to force myself to make friends and speak to people. My parents were quiet, and it took me a while to get used to the fact that people talk about their feelings, their problems.
