I’m doing all the things I used to make fun of. I’d always say, ‘The idea of a guy who spends an hour in his bathroom every morning, grooming and picking out his clothes, that’s just not me, I’d never do that,’ but you know what—I really enjoy doing that now…If my haircut is too Chelsea for somebody, and if the fact thatt I've changed from funny 70s reading glasses to contact lenses, and if I'm tan now and in slightly better shape, well, it's too bad.

I don’t care about all that shit. I’m very outspoken and honest. I’m the first to say that I’m gay, that I’m insecure, that I have certain hang-ups, that I’ve been dependent on drugs or alcohol, so I don’t really hide things with the fear that they’re going to be revealed on some blog.
