Randy Harrison

“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.”

“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.”

“I don't know for Justin; he's always looking for meaning out of his relationships with people. I don't think he's as trapped into the drug thing as a lot of the others are.”

“It's nice to see that people in Middle America are really affected.”

“I can't walk down the street with my head up. I'm not a hat wearer, but now I'm a hat wearer.”

“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.”

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

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

“It's upsetting that it is such a big deal. I wish it weren't an issue all the time. It's funny that people say it's a departure, because I've been acting since I was a child. I've played three gay roles out of hundreds.”
