I think in an ideal world celebrities do have a responsibility in many different areas to be role models.

You are axes, in a world of wood. And the wood remembers when it has been cut, even if the axe forgets.

Knowing yourself, knowing where you want to get, combining those things gives you the pragmatic steps.

You can't be a part-time man of principle.

In a country like America, there are places, many states here still where coming out means you lose your job, where coming out means division, where it means potentially abuse.

I wasn't going to let Jerry Sloan embarrass me, because basketball had a proper role in my life. I suspected my basketball philosophy wasn't the bottom line anyway.

I always think coming out is something that you do for people who really deserve it. It should be.

In my experience, it's only people who don't play sport at a professional level who think that there is anything remotely erotic about a locker room.

We need to accept that some people are camp and some people are butch. Some people are pretty and some people are average, but we all fit.

I just wanted to fit in, so probably early on I knew, but it was... social life was such a distant part of my existence when I was in school that I didn't even think about it too much.

I'm a nerd. I like to sit in the library. I don't like to sweat.

Music is the language of the heart, the language of the soul, the language of nature and the language of the universe.

GIVE THANKS - GET HAPPY

If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.

Truth . . . and if mine eyes Can bear its blaze, and trace its symmetries, Measure its distance, and its advent wait, I am no prophet - I but calculate.

I feel like I get really energetic and hyper. If I do well in a show, I can't sleep afterwards. If I don't do well, I get kinda drained. I think because it's like a battle on stage.

Wrap thyself in the decent veil that the arts or the graces weave for thee, O human nature! It is only the statue of marble whose nakedness the eye can behold without shame and offence!

I have enjoyed acting very much, because I know it's not for real!

A true artist is driven by the never-ending desire to create.

The duty of the church is to comfort the disturbed and to disturb the comfortable.
