You can't discriminate against someone because of their race, color, or religion, but you can discriminate against someone because of their sexual preference, I find it to be abhorrent.

Hateful people put fear in other people.

If you feel like you're not where you want to be in your life, rather than step on someone else's, raise your stature.

I can imagine that if you're a kid growing up somewhere, where you might be gay or you think you're gay, but you don't know who else would be ... you become very closeted.

I always felt safe and protected. My dad is 6'6 and 280 pounds, so I basically felt protected, and I aspire to have my kids feel the same way.

I was very fortunate. I had a great group of friends in my life, and family, and so I felt a sense of safety and belonging that ... as you grow older, you realize that not everybody does feel that. And there's particular certain groups of kids who always feel like outsiders. But I was very fortunate.

I have 8-year-old twins, and I want them to grow up in a world where they can be anyone they want without any shame, without holding back, without being judged for it.

When I was younger, I had an older brother a year and a half older than me, so we always had each other, and I felt very fortunate in that regard.
