Shoes make an outfit; they're like rims for a car.

I would honestly say I'm in the turtle's race. My journey is a marathon.

I was trying to pay the bills with poems, and it was easy to memorize my poems, because I'd be riding my bike in California trying to memorize them before going on stage at a poetry lounge.

I was going from Furman to the University of Georgia. I transferred to play football.

When it's all said and done, I am secure enough with my manhood to say to the world, 'I am a male actor, and its okay for me to play a gay man.'

I would say, as loving as I am... I am definitely an extremely temperamental man who has a very large temper.

My dad was really complex, and I was raised by that. My mom is really bright - very book bright - and so those things collide... I learned that I could put all of that stuff together in the world of acting, and I could make a dollar at it.

I always have a backpack. I was a poet, so it reminds me of being a backpack poet.

Know that the tattoos are all significant. They're all extremely insignificant. I can't break each one down, but it's 20 years. The first one was 21 years of age from a football teammate.
