One cannot deny that if a person has the energy to get you interested and excited, then that is half the battle won, like all the great leaders had this quality.

No apologies, no regrets.

Don't forget who your heroes are, what they mean to you, and why they mean that to you.

I'm grateful for all the attention because it validates I'm doing something.

You have to like your character, because if you don't, no one else will either.

I'm straight, but the character was too important to me to muddle his world with my private life. As a nobody, I got away with that deflection. I think it may have helped to introduce Brian as a believable gay man. Maybe not. However it played, it's been out of my hands for a long time.

Some say that Jesus is the rock, or the anchor. I say that your friends and family are your anchor. And you can REALLY hold their hands, not just sing about it. No disrespect to George Jones.
