I Didn't Really Play Dress

I Am Tired Of Hiding And I Am Tired Of Lying By Omission. I Suffered For Years Because I Was Scared To Be Out. My Spirit Suffered, My Mental Health Suffered And My Relationships Suffered. And I'm Standing Here Today, With All Of You, On The Other Side Of That Pain.

It's Really Crucial To Achieve That Balance With A Film Like This, Cause It Is Unique And Witty And Then There's The Tendency To Force That. It Becomes Contrived And I Know The Feeling Like, Give Me A Fork That I Can Stab In My Eye In Those Kinds Of Movies.

I've Always Been A Huge Fan Of Patricia's [rozema ], As A Director And As A Writer, And She's A Friend. For Me, Patricia Is One Of Those People Who Can Cross Genre In A Way That I Think Has Been Pretty Incredible, If You Look At Her Career And The Versatility Of Her Work.

I Recently Rewatched Stand By Me And Was Like, "wow, This Is So Powerful Because These Young Men Are So Vulnerable And So Emotional, And Love Each Other." That's A Rare Quality For A Film.

Love, The Beauty Of It, The Joy Of It And Yes, Even The Pain Of It, Is The Most Incredible Gift To Give And To Receive As A Human Being. And We Deserve To Experience Love Fully, Equally, Without Shame And Without Compromise.
