I Feel Like When I Really Did

[my Mother] Was Taking Me To Shakespeare In The Park When I Was Like 6. There Was Just A Lot Of Theater-going And A Lot Of Movie-going And A Lot Of Discussion About It Afterwards, Dissecting It And Stuff.

When Women Got The Vote, They Did Not Redefine Voting. When African-americans Got The Right To Sit At A Lunch Counter Alongside White People, They Did Not Redefine Eating Out. They Were Simply Invited To The Table. That Is All We Want To Do; We Have No Desire To Change Marriage. We Want To Be Entitled To Not Only The Same Privileges But The Same Responsibilities As Straight People.

I Feel Like Being An Actor It Is A Great Way To Do Your Job And Be A Parent, Because You Have A Lot Of Freedom. You Have A Job And Then The Job Ends And Than Maybe You Don't Have Another Job For A While Or Maybe You Chose Not Have Another Job For A While. For An Actor, It's Like Maybe You Don't See Your Kid For Two Weeks While You Are Filming But Then You Might Have Three Months Off Where You Are At Home Every Day And Picking Him Up From School. I Find It's A Great Thing.

I Never Felt Like There Was An Unconscious Part Of Me Around That Woke Up Or That Came Out Of The Closet; There Wasn't A Struggle, There Wasn't An Attempt To Suppress.

It Just Feels To Me Like The Death Throes Of An America That Had Many Great Things About It, But Had Many Negative Things About It. I Don't Want To Go Back.
