Quotes

We were as on top of our game as we could be after 31 years, and we said,walk away on our own terms.

Peter enjoys collaborating with people and I see him doing a lot more of,that. I think Michael wants to work with visual media - sculpture and,photography.

I cried when I was writing this.

For any straight actor, let alone a movie star of his stature, to play,a gay man with so much tenderness and compassion was truly inspiring.

He was so open. It was beautiful to watch.
