“I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders.”
“I don't need my sexuality celebrated, and I certainly don't need it to be criticized. I didn't necessarily want it to be observed, but here we are.”
“I shop only at thrift stores and vintage stores. In New York, I like a place called Star Struck, and a place called The Family Jewels.”
“I wouldn't want to lose out on my macho action movie just because I told people I was queer.”
“I like a role that is challenging. That's what I look for and I'm certainly always looking to move further and maybe push myself into a place that might be temporarily uncomfortable so that I might learn something.”
“My mother took me to a lot of operas and when I was eight I got the opportunity to be in one and I realized that transformation into these make-believe situations was possible. I decided that was essentially what I wanted to do with my life.”
“I read a lot of bad scripts and weird television shows. I don't know. There's a lot of work out there I was reading at 14 years old and noticing this lack of thought. And then, reading 'Afterschool,' that's full of thought. It was bursting with ideas.”
“The escape to an unchallenging fairy tale can be very nice and I'm all for that, but film can also challenge you to confront the realities of our world.”
“I'm super down with being irresponsible. I'm just trying to make sure my lack of responsibility no longer hurts people.”
“You know, I was really privileged to meet Woody Allen, who is now a filmmaker, let's be honest. He's also an actor. And he's classic. And because I have no conception of what classic fashion is now, I respond to his slightly outdated sensibilities.”
“It disturbs me when Obama says in the State of the Union address that he wants to make dropping out of school at 18 illegal, because people learn differently and before there are forms of learning for every type of person in the world, we shouldn't be condemned for leaving.”
“I was a weird animal in high school, doing no work and getting straight A's.”
“Every teenager deals in his or her own sexuality and has to face it and figure out how it can coincide with the rest of their lives in a healthy manner. And try to navigate it in our modern society, which is wrought with stigma and taboo and repression, and sort of as a result, these inner monsters that some teenagers really struggle with.”
“I think everybody's crazy, and if I'm the one being a little direct about it, that's fine by me.”
“When I found film, it was like, 'Of course!' It was this very intense realization that this is perhaps the most powerful, honed context that I've found.”
“The token gay character is always so funny and so fantastic. That's happened a lot. Or they're often purely victims.”
“I am very much in love with no one in particular.”
“'The Wizard of Oz' is my favorite movie. It was the first movie I can ever remember watching.”
“I don't know if it's responsible for kids of my age to be so aggressively pursuing monogamous binds, because I don't think we're ready for them. The romanticism within our culture dictates that that's what you're supposed to be looking for.”
“I think I enjoy playing human beings no matter the substance of their character.”
