I think it's always good for gay people to come out, but it's also understandable why people might choose not to do so.
The intention and outcome of vulnerability is trust, intimacy and connection. The outcome of oversharing is distrust, disconnection - and usually a little judgment.
Everything is an open book. I don't speak on other people's hardship, but if it happened in my life or something that has been an experience on my particular journey, I'm going to talk about it. That's what my fan base appreciates the most. I'm universal. You can relate to the things I say or that I go through.
I'm share a lot of details, but 98 percent of my life is still private.
I don't have any problems getting people to open up.
My life has been an open book, for better or for worse.
In the early days of Twitter, it was like a place of radical de-shaming. People would admit shameful secrets about themselves, and other people would say, 'Oh my God, I'm exactly the same.' Voiceless people realized that they had a voice, and it was powerful and eloquent.
It's no secret I'm a shy person.
I have always said what is in my heart.
My worst flaw is that I tell secrets, my own and everybody else's.
Expressing truth is hard work.
Unless you're of a certain age, you may not know my name, but you can Google it - I was a pretty big movie star in the 1950s. Oh, and another thing: I was - am - gay.
When I put my first project out ages ago, I didn't want to show anyone my emotions. Now I think it's better for people to understand how I am as a person and let them relate.
Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.
Reading about myself on public platforms makes me uncomfortable. I don't like it. I read other people's interviews or articles, but when it comes to myself, if I see something about myself then I immediately turn over the page.
Fine clothes may disguise, but silly words will disclose a fool
My life is an open book. You're welcome to speculate.
It's hard to expose your personal life publicly, and everyone has an opinion.
Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.
I'm really not comfortable talking about my personal life.
I make no bones about the fact that I'm over 40.
In person, I am a person who doesn't talk about myself.
People ask me to describe myself, but it's a very personal thing. You don't feel comfortable.
I don't mind saying what's on my mind.
Well usually if I'm having a sh***y day, I don't post anything. I don't go out just to tell everyone I'm having a great day, even if I'm not.
