West Hollywood blew my mind: gay men walking down the street, kissing and holding hands. I'd never imagined there was a place like that.

I always loved Willie Nelson, but I loved the songs that Willie made famous.

I'm a creative person who had a lot of dark time in my life. I can still get to it: I can still go to a relationship or a time when things weren't great. But it's getting further and further from me.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.

I'm a huge Dallas Mavs fan. What I love about Dirk Nowitzki is he has just as much talent as everyone else, if not more, and he never toots his own horn. He's this silent warrior.
