“He's dating again, ... He's out there and it's comparatively a breeze for him, at 71, of course, because he's a guy. We deal with that in the movie, and it is quite funny.”

“Over the years I've worked with so many smart, funny, talented gay people, and I just don't think about it. They're my friends.”
