Zitat des Tages von Matt Bomer:
I don't know anybody who walks through life all the time in the doldrums, constantly serious and morose. But that's become what we generalize as drama.
I adore Jane Lynch, so just to get the opportunity to work with her was phenomenal.
Thankfully, I have a very full life. I'm married with kids, so I have a lot of things to focus on, other projects either in post-production or pre-production, so you just do the best you can.
I would say confidence and security and comfortability in one's own skin. I think that's so attractive. Truly.
I think every guy and girl would love to get to play Superman at some point in their life.
Our high school offered a comprehensive drama department where I was doing 'Angels in America' at 14.
Working on TV can be quite insular.
As actors you're always going to take certain roles that are in your comfort zone and take ones that aren't.
When it's a really dark emotional scene, you have to make the effort to shake it off, at the end of the day, before you go home to your kids and try to be a normal human being. You definitely want to make that effort to shake it off.
When I was 27, I felt old. I didn't feel healthy. I just wasn't taking care of my body, and I had a body that wanted me to take care of it.
There's a level of love that really dissolves a lot of egotism and self-absorption.
I can safely say that I had an incredibly difficult and trying past growing up and trying to be an artist and standing up as who I am in this world.
To me, when you're at a hotel, and your home environment is ultimately dictated by somebody else, I always find that a little bit oppressive and scary in a way. Especially if it's not done well or not run well.
You're not going to do that. If you gave your best to what you were given, at the time, it's going to play out how it's going to play out.
It's a struggle for anybody to take their paradigms and set of beliefs and understandings and completely flip the script.
For some reason, they always gave me a fat suit in high-school productions. If there was a character who needed to be robust, they gave me a fat suit, and I put on a silly voice.
Cote de Pablo is one of my best friends! We went to college together.
I think you work on the roles that draw you in and the stories you want to tell.
I was in romantic relationships with girls - whatever that means at 14.
Activism isn't beautiful and easy, or a bunch of people getting together and picketing; it's a lot more complicated and difficult than that.
I pretty much got busted for everything, but I definitely stretched out my boundaries as a kid, as well.
I think if you start to think too much about things that are completely out of control, it will just drive you crazy as an actor.
I love 'Jaws,' and I think Robert Shaw's performance in 'Jaws' is one of the best screen performances of all time. I am a massive Robert Shaw fan. I think he's a brilliant, brilliant talent and we lost him way before his time.
I'm blessed to have a family, so it's not like I'm twiddling my thumbs. When I'm not working, that's where all my attention comes.
I'm a huge fan of 'The Vampire Chronicles,' both the Neil Jordan film and the books themselves.
When I was 8 years old, I asked my parents to get me head shots, and they were like, 'What are you talking about? Go outside and play!' I'm so glad they did.
Making a great television show is hard enough. To also tackle F. Scott - whoa.
One of the ways I learned how to act, really, is by having secrets and having to function as a kid in a public school in suburban Bible Belt Texas.
I grew up on theater, and honestly, I'm trying to figure out a way with a family and kids and living in Los Angeles to get back to the stage because it is my first love.
My standard uniform is a T-shirt and jeans.
It was a gift to get to play a gay role that was written in a three-dimensional, human way.
I like to just work with great directors.
I want to work with anyone who's passionate about telling a story. I obviously have a list of people I really love, but it's a really long list.
I was always that fringe guy anyway, the guy who played football and then did the musicals.
We didn't get to see a lot of movies in my house growing up, so the first time I got to go to the movies - I think it was 'E.T.' - I was like, 'Oh my God, somebody else gets my imagination!'
I remember taking my brother's car out, pushing it down the driveway in neutral in the night, and going out joyriding with friends and getting flat tires and getting busted. My license was revoked by my dad. So, definitely, I was a kid. I was a teenage boy.
