You cannot overstate, I don’t think, the impact of a show like ‘Glee’ on a generation. Wilson Cruz Read Quote
When I came out, it didn’t go well. My dad kicked me out. I ended up sleeping in my car. Wilson Cruz Read Quote
My dad is now an incredibly important ally of mine. I’m so impressed with him. He’s a hero to me because he put love and his family first. Wilson Cruz Read Quote
When I think about people coming out, especially young people, my first concern is, ‘Are you safe? Is this a safe time? Are you in a safe place?’ Do you have a network of people outside of your parents you can go to if this doesn’t go as well as you hoped? Wilson Cruz Read Quote
When you’re 14, 15, the most important thing in your life should be education, because that’s what’s going to set you up for success as an adult. So if coming out now will hinder your education, maybe we take some time to think about whether the time is right or not. Those are my concern. Wilson Cruz Read Quote
My advice would be to look at the things you do to make money as ways to inform your work in the end. If our work is to study the human condition, most humans that we are going to be playing aren’t going to be artists, so go out and, as I did, learn what it’s like to have a 9-to-5 job… Think of it as character study.

I don’t think that there’s any shame at all in doing what you have to do in order to survive, to make money while you continue to pursue your dreams. Wilson Cruz Read Quote
It’s ‘Star Trek!’ It’s as close to an American mythology as we get. To be a part of that storytelling after being a fan since I was a teenage boy who saw the pilot episode of ‘Next Generation’ air, it’s all very surreal. Wilson Cruz Read Quote
I had no idea what being on stage would be like or how I’d react to the applause. I didn’t think I deserved their applause. Then I realized I’d done something to make them feel something. That made it okay. But it was weird. A nice weird. Wilson Cruz Read Quote
