T.R. Knight

T.R. Knight: I think, you know, as an actor, unless you're exceedingly lucky and you're one of the golden few, a lot of your life you're unemployed and a lot of your life you're poor. You gotta be a little insane and driven and have it be the only thing you want to do.

T.R. Knight: (on growing up gay and his coming out) You are taught you are wrong, that you are bad. [So] you don't do anything, and you wrap yourself in a little straitjacket, and you put yourself in your little room. 'Don't do it! Don't look at someone, don't touch them, don't kiss them, don't do anything!' Then maybe it's OK. I mean, sure, that plagued me all through childhood, you know, in so many ways, and that's stuff that's hard to get away from. But you have to, and eventually, you know, you do.

T.R. Knight: (on closeted actors) Everyone has their own path. You just have to respect that. I don't know what it's like to be in their shoes. I know a lot of people who make statements, but you have to do it when it's right for you. It don't think it's right to force that. It's impossible to know ... There's a lot of soul searching you have to do.
