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

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.

I don't want to be the center of attention. My posture has changed. I walk with my head down and shoulders slumped. Suddenly I carry myself as if I'm ashamed of something.

It's a really subtle kind of thing. It makes me feel like Randy Harrison is not a human being to them.

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.

I was always the shame of the family - the one Yankee who was actually born in the North.

I've done sexual stuff before - onstage, which is even more emotionally difficult. With a TV crew around, you are stopping and starting; it becomes really technical. It's not erotic at all.

I wonder what kind of lives they will have built for themselves when they turn 45 and can't really have any connection with people because they are so used to fleeting sexual.

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.

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.

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.

Overcoming abuse doesn't just happen, It takes positive steps everyday. Let today be the day you start to move forward.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

Many children are natural fantasists, I think, perhaps because their imaginations have yet to be clobbered into submission by experience.

A man's intelligence does not increase as he acquires power. What does increase is the difficulty of telling him so.

The educator must above all understand how to wait; to reckon all effects in the light of the future, not of the present.

Love decreases when it ceases to increase.

Mathematics is one of the deepest and most powerful expressions of pure human reason, and, at the same time, the most fundamental resource for description and analysis of the experiential world.

My biggest life lesson is that money cannot buy happiness.

And when it started to get dark you pointed to the sky, and told me there was a star for every thing you loved about me.

The Dewey decimal system really works. So that's all I needed to know. Elementary school taught me that.
