“I promise my audience at least one shocking gay scene this year. People will write about this once I’m done with it.”

“Jodie Foster should just come out. She’s not an ingénue anymore. You know, it really saddens me because Jodie Foster could do so much good. … There are just some people – the classy ones – who don’t get beat up in the press. They mostly do that by keeping to themselves.”

“There was a minute [in my youth when] I was sort of good with basketball, but I could never deal with nasty attitudes [on the court]. Those boys can be nastier than the meanest queen.”

“You look at gay people and all studies show we drink more, we smoke more, we do more recreational drugs. Gay people are more likely to take extreme ill-advised sexual risks. There’s a certain self-destructive streak that I don’t think has anything to do with homosexuality per se, but has everything to do with the pain that gets wedged into your soul when you internalize the bad things you are told about being gay and punish yourself all your life. I would add voting Republican when you’re gay to that list, along with doing crystal meth and having sex with 40 guys in one weekend. They’re both dumbass, self-destructive things to do. A certain number of people are stupid enough to off themselves.”
