I Don't Avoid Anyone But I Always

In My First Year At Drama School, I Did This Kids' Show Called 'let's See.

I Started To Itch To Do A Play Again And 'macbeth' Came To The Surface In My Mind. I Never Thought I Would Do It In A Conventional Way. A Sweaty Macbeth With Blood On His Arms Coming In Fresh From The Battle Doesn't Interest Me.

The Thing With Film And Theater Is That You Always Know The Story So You Can Play Certain Cues In Each Scene With The Knowledge That You Know Where The Story's Going To End And How It's Going To Go. But On Television Nobody Knows What's Going To Happen, Even The Writers.

It's About How You Exist As A Person In The World, And The Idea That Your Work Is More Important Than You As A Person Is A Horrible, Horrible Message. I Always Think About A Little Gay Boy In Wisconsin Or A Little Lesbian In Arkansas Seeing Someone Like Me, And If I Cannot Be Open In My Life, How On Earth Can They?

If The President Of The Country Is Not Actually Saying Something, Allowing Equality To Happen, How Could You Expect To Counsel Kids Not To Bully Other Kids? If They're Not Seeing That Their Society Sees Gay People As Equals, How Could You Tell Them What They're Doing Is Wrong? With All This Stuff Going On, With The "don't Ask, Don't Tell" And Things Like That, We Are Second-class Citizens, Definitely. It Just Seems To Me That It's Hypocritical For Us As A Culture To Say, "bullying Is A Terrible Thing," When Really, They Are Just Reflecting What The Society Is Doing.
