For Old Actors, Just Remember That Inside

I Can't Take On All The Worries Of The World, You Know. I Can Only Talk About Being Gay And Being An Actor. I'll Have To Leave Those Other Battles To Somebody Else.

I Think The Point To Be Understood Is That We're All Different. I've Never Been A Fan Of Theories Of Acting. I Didn't Go To Drama School, So I Was Never Put Through A Training That Was Limited By Someone Saying, 'this Is The Way You Should Act.'

A Few Years Ago, A Friend Said To Me: "you Do Realize, Ian, When X-men And Lord Of The Rings Come Out, Your Life Will Totally Change?" I Didn't Know What He Was Talking About, But He Was Right. My Life Has Totally Changed - But In A Good Way. Unbeknownst To Me, It's Given Me A Lot More Confidence.

I'm Not Experienced Enough, Or Certain Enough Of My Acting On The Screen To Say To A Director, "you Are Wrong, I Am Right. I Will Only Do It This Way." I Could Never Feel That, I Wish I Could Be Absolutely Certain. But On The Stage, It's Different. I Know Where I Am On The Stage.

Kids Are Coming Out Earlier And Earlier - Some, As Young As Twelve Now - And Schools Need To Take That Into Account.
