I was very much a product of the public-school system. There was only one other kid in my class who had parents not involved in the stock market or law.

I'm the only kid in the world who doesn't want an eighth Harry Potter book.

Realizing that other people have a problem with [homosexuality] was the weirdest thing for me. As a kid it wasn't even something that was mentioned. It was never something that was even explained to me. It was just, "That's Mark and he's gay." Mark was just another friend of my dad's who would talk about his boyfriend instead of his girlfriend. I was 5. I didn't care. It seemed perfectly normal, and still does...

I wasn't the most popular kid in school.
