I've definitely had crazy acting teachers.

Unfortunately, in some parts of the country, some kids are taught at an early age that being different is somehow bad or wrong or worthy of ridicule.

As actors you're always going to take certain roles that are in your comfort zone and take ones that aren't.

Everybody thinks that equality comes from identifying people, and that's not where equality comes from.

I like to just work with great directors.

I never feel more confident and comfortable than when I'm wearing a Tom Ford suit.

I pretty much got busted for everything, but I definitely stretched out my boundaries as a kid, as well.

I think when you play a role, you always have to be a defense attorney for that character.

I'm completely happy and fulfilled in my personal life.

Kids aren't born to be bullies, they're taught to be bullies.

Look, none of the artists who I admire or respect have ever shied away from a role because it might make them unpopular with somebody.

My favorite actors are people who I don't know anything about, and I can project any character onto them.

Well, when you're playing a role, you have to think, 'What is ultimately motivating the character?'

What we really have to do is stop the adjective before the job title - whether it's 'black actor,' a 'gay actor' or anything actor.

When I was in high school, there was no safe haven, there was no outlet for you to speak your mind.

I'm a kid that went to theater school. I thought I was going to be making my living doing plays regionally or in New York or on Broadway, and maybe if I got lucky I would do a movie here or there.
