I'm an Air force Brat and I've lived all over the world and this country and there were people in my community who were gay - nurses, hairdressers, designers - people who just had a different way about themselves.

I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.

I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.
