âIâve learned the most from Randy Harrison. Because of his fantastic imaginary world filled with bizarre friends. He is constantly giving us good advice.â
[on how Randyâs butt tastes]: âSalty. Heâs a fairly hygienic person I would think. Not like saltines, more like a neck. A little cumin I guess.â
-Windy City Times, November 2000
[on his sexual orientation]: âItâs not that Iâm refusing to say anything, itâs that I donât have any interest in talking about things that I feel are irrelevant. For me, itâs just about the job and maintaining the character.â
-TV Guide, December 2000
[on his female fan-base]: âIf youâre sexually attracted to men, it stands to reason that you might like to see two men in a sexual situation. Itâs a real baseline dynamic! And it changes the power struggle, because women never got to see that. Thatâs a bizarre sociological result of the show.â
thank you! at least gale gets the appeal.
-TheaterMania.com, April 2001
[on the sex scenes]: âSometimes itâs real comfortable and sometimes itâs not. It depends on the day. With Randy, itâs really easy because we work well together and weâre good friends. But sometimes, when itâs with a stranger, like a day player, you get guys who arenât very comfortable with the subject matter, regardless of whether we have our clothes on or not. And then it becomes tough.â
-NY Blade, April 2001
[on what he does to relax]: âLegally? Music, books, cycling. Being with friends â weâre all pretty tight on the cast â is something I love to do to unwind.â
[on the meaning of âqueer as folkâ]: âThereâs nothing as bizarre as the person that you see next to you that looks like, you know, Joe Schmo.â
[same as above]: âLife is strange; people are weird, you know?â
[same as above]: âItâs like, um, you may think you know, but you donât know, you know?â
-that infamous interview with the black tank top
[on the significance of the shell bracelet]: âWhen I was 17, I seduced and romantically exploited Jacques Cousteau, and the whole crew on the ship âThe Odysseyâ.â
[on how he approaches the sex scenes - mentions Halâs dog comment]: âWell, Iâve been making out with dogs since I was three years old, so I really couldnât use that, it didnât bring me any sort of inspiration.â
[on Brianâs primary motivation]: âTo be the best Christian he can be. And to set a good example for all the impressionable young gangsters that might take his message the wrong way. â
[on the sex meetings]: âHow much clothes, or how little clothes they have on, how much of your pubic hair is going to be seenâŠâ
a LOT, if this is s2 :P
-StarTV, January 2002
[on whether heâs gay or straight]: âI canât figure out what to do with this question. Most of the gay men I work with assume Iâm straight, soâŠâ
âKissing a manâŠitâs more animalistic. Thereâs a primal drive with men and you can feel that the second you start kissing. Itâs much more visceral than kissing a woman. Women take their time. Thereâs more play. Itâs not a mad dash to get your rocks off. And kissing men who, even after theyâve shaved, have the roughest skin. Iâve got the worst fuckinâ burns on my face.â
-Flaunt Magazine, February 2002
âIf someone doesnât want to work with me because Iâm playing a gay character, I donât want to work with them. They can fuck off.â
[on the sex scenes]: âA lot of it happens in editing, although Randy and I are certainly making out and simulating sex. Weâre comfortable enough with each other to be able to give them enough raw material, you know what I mean?â
-New York Metro, April 2002
âBut for TV the real danger is that once youâve titillated someone, you want to then start giving them what they want â and when that starts to figure in the structure of what weâre trying to do, or whatâs going to happen in each episode, you start to feel a little bit exposed for no reason.â
âAnd it becomes kind of a different experience, which [as an actor] nobody wants to do, or to do in the nude for the majority of the time that theyâre doing it. Itâs just totally distracting from everything else, right?â
-The Australian, November 2004
[on what galeâs gay friends think of his characterization as a gay man]: âA lot of them are diplomatically reserved and some of them think itâs hooey.â
[on whether the sex scenes are a strange experience, specifically rimming]: âI read a lot of William Burroughs when I was in high school, so I had to figure out what that was a long time ago!â
[sex scenes again]: âItâs like osmosis because unconsciously Iâm learning things just by being in Brianâs skin.â
[on whether itâs strange he has a large female fan base]: âIf youâre a top in a gay series and youâre naked a lot youâre definitely going to pick up some female fans, right? [Laughs]. Itâs fantasy by subterfuge - an anything-can-happen mind-game!â
