Hollywood needs peripheral people like me. You're not of that world, but you're needed.
Kevin Sessums
If someone had come up to me at Yale and asked me how many homosexuals there were in my class, I would have said I don't think there are any. There may have been a few who were shy with girls. You have to understand, this was the 1950s.

To some people, knowledge and science are everything. To me, God is everything I don't know.
Kevin Sessums
I find myself applying the addict's impulse to how I cruise. I don't look at the ass. If I see a hot guy walking towards me I look at his arm, and if he has a vein I fantasize about shooting up with him.

Kevin Sessums
I wasn't a [gay] activist, really.
Kevin Sessums
I think it's a Jewish Yale custom. I wasn't aware that other people celebrated Christmas. My wife was very big on Christmas, and I was very big on my wife.
Kevin Sessums
I don't think everybody's gay. But I think a lot more people are than the world knows about.
Kevin Sessums
I was raped. That was a hard thing to write about. I never owned that part of it. Guys don't look at themselves as being raped. We're not raised that way.
Kevin Sessums
Is it easier for you to have straight friends, Larry [Kramer], since you seem so often disappointed in your gay friends who can't live up to what you expect of them as gay people?
Kevin Sessums
I'm not denying Christ by not being Christian. I'm a theist, which involves expanding on the Christ narrative.
Kevin Sessums
Tony Kushner has said that Larry [Kramer] thinks everyone always has to agree with him.
