For me, living in the closet corroded my ability to have an honest, open relationship with my God, my loved ones, my constituency and myself.

I think that to a very great extent we are partners with the divine in this enterprise called history. That is an ongoing relationship, and there is absolutely no guarantee that things will automatically work out to our best advantage.

I had never really dated. I've always been a relationship kind of person.

I never felt I had the kind of relationship with Magic that I could just pick up the phone and call him at home.

I shoot people in a way that makes the audience feel equal to them. And it's hard to express and it's hard to execute but I think it works on every level - the choice of the material the choice of the actor, my relationship with the actor, and so on.
