both definitely parents
I'm definitely a Yankee, a New Englander at heart. Both my parents are Southerners, so they always wanted to go back to the South.
came focus game knew knock lacking mental prior showing tough wish
I knew this would be a tough game to win, but I'm a little disappointed that we came out lacking some mental focus prior to and in the game. We'll take 2-2. I just wish we could have made a better showing today. But it's not the end of the world. We'll come back out Monday, we'll knock (the ball) around and try to be better.
honesty thinking important
I just don't think that I could be the kind of actor I want to be and not be honest with myself. Honesty is very important to me as an actor and as a person. I didn't even think about it.
school parent groups
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.
summer college agents
I had been doing summer stock every summer while I was in college. We did a showcase, like most good conservatories do - monologues and things that agents and casting directors come to see. From that I got an agent.
careers trying needs
I never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside - try to be someone I wasn't to get ahead.
careers want kind
I don't want to be Tom Cruise. I'm not after some movie blockbuster career. That's not the kind of work I'm interested in. And frankly, it's not the kind of work I'm ever going to get.
hats streets walks
I can't walk down the street with my head up. I'm not a hat wearer, but now I'm a hat wearer.
gay people ironic
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.
parent growing able
I love my parents. Coming out to them was sort of coming out to myself. I educated them, and I wanted our relationship to keep growing. I wanted them to be a part of my life still. I wanted to be able to share with them what I was going through.
dad said
Dad said that he was prouder of me than he'd ever been when I came out.
independent play careers
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.
people exposing-yourself closets
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.
thinking boys want
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.
