Everybody Is An Actor In One Way

I Understand The Opposite Side Of The Camera. I Have A Profound Respect For That. I Have Worked With People Who, When You Hit That Mark, Are Doing 50 Percent Of Your Work For You. So, You Know, It's A Balance. When You Walk Into A Mark And You're Lit A Certain Way Or Something's Happening So Often You Don't Know What's Behind You... And That's What's So Strange About Being A Movie Actor.

I Have Always Had A Deep Belief That Every Movie, Every Artistic Expression, Is Political. Don't Be Fooled. Even Ones That We Wouldn't Consider Overtly Political Are Political. When We Spend Time Doing Anything, Whether It's Distraction Or Whether It's Something That We Have To Face, It Is Always Political. That's My Belief.

I Always Say About That Movie [ Brokeback Mountain], Which I Think Maybe Over Time Is More Understood, Is That This Is About Two People Desperately Looking For Love. To Be Loved. And Who Were Probably Capable Of It. And They Just Found It With Someone Of The Same Sex.that Does Not Dismiss The Fact That It Is About, Really, Primarily, The First Kind Of Very Profound Gay Love Story. Hopefully It Can Create An Equality Of An Idea: That Is, It's Possible That You Can Find Love Anywhere.

I Was Trying To Figure Out Where My Intellect, If I Really Have One, Where It Fit. And So I Was Searching. I Really Didn't Know Who I Was Or What I Really Wanted To Be, And In That Search, Like I Think You Do As An Actor, You End Up Trying To Define Whatever That Is, And I Sort Of Said, "oh Well, Searching Spiritually In A Way Is Interesting, And Eastern Religion Seems To Be About A Search."

You Know, It's Flattering When There's A Rumor That Says I'm Bisexual. It Means I Can Play More Kinds Of Roles. I'm Open To Whatever People Want To Call Me. I've Never Really Been Attracted To Men Sexually, But I Don't Think I Would Be Afraid Of It If It Happened.
