“I’m now called a gay activist and I quite like the label. It sounds rather important — more important than just being an actor — don’t you think? No one ever thinks actors have anything important to contribute, and for the most part, that assumption is entirely correct, myself included. We can all be incredibly self-absorbed — mostly out of insecurity. I think a lot of people become actors because they are insecure, and acting teaches you how to hide your insecurities. You appear relaxed and in control. I’m past those demons now. ”

“Medicine is in its infancy, so you take it with a grain of salt. Thoughts create reality and we have amazing power to heal ourselves. Every seven years, every single cell in your body is totally new. What does that mean? With meditation and conscious awareness, you can steer yourself. You can affect your health in a negative way or in a positive way.... It doesn’t mean you don’t take medicine, you do — but you can accelerate the healing. Sometimes if you are strong enough in your thought processes, you can replace a lot of medications. Don’t fall into the trap of believing what they tell you is the status quo.”
