I am all for everyone having a voice; I just don't think everyone has earned the microphone. And that's what the Internet has done.
I'm honestly not the kind of person who wants to step up to a podium, test the microphone and be like, 'Hey, I'm homosexual and this is who I am, hear me roar.' That's not who I am.
Having a guy on a microphone yelling lines at you is counter to a lot of acting techniques.
Well I have a microphone and you don't so you will listen to every damn word I have to say!
Sir one more comment like that and I will strangle you with my microphone wire!
I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.
Pittsburgh's definitely the city where I learned how to be on a stage, hold a microphone, and interact with an audience. It's where I got my chops as an entertainer and as a performer, so I'm grateful to the queer community there because they are active and vocal and they care about each other.
I've got the knowledge and experience to know what's going on in the cage or the ring. And I know how to entertain an audience and how to use the microphone. I know my market.
It's weird but I've never really been the type to have fixations on the leading man actor. I've always been drawn more to the rock star. I love a guy on the microphone commanding an audience.
You don't need 30 million people to listen to your podcast. If 10,000 people listen to your podcast, which is not a hard number to achieve, then 10,000 people are listening, and you can build a community, and literally change the world just recording into a microphone.
