I consider my teenage years as being desperately unhappy.

I'm not ashamed of being gay, never have been and never will be. For that I have no apologies.

Disney was a family film studio. I was supposed to be their young, leading man. After they found out I was involved with someone, that was the end of Disney.

Eventually I became involved with somebody, and I was fired.

I said, to hell with the whole thing, to hell with show business. I'm gonna make a new life for myself, and I got off drugs, completely kicked all that stuff.

I started my own little carpet and upholstery cleaning business. I've done it for 20 years. I live well.
