I'm not on Twitter. I'm not on Facebook. I'm not on Instagram.

The idea of faking empathy to take a step forward to understanding - it's a really powerful idea.

I remember telling my mom, 'Mom, I'm gay, but I'm not going to march in a parade or anything.' That's what I was telling my parents and all my friends and everything.

Just follow your joy. Always. I think that if you do that, life will take you on the course that it's meant to take you.
