"Dad said that he was prouder of me than he’d ever been when I came out." ― Randy Harrison Topic(s): Dad More From Randy Harrison "A lot of my friends are club people. It’s not me. It’s funny to represent that, because it’s not me. I don’t fit into a gay club setting. It’s just ironic that I represent that somehow." "It’s upsetting that it is such a big deal. I wish it weren’t an issue all the time. It’s funny that people say it’s a departure, because I’ve been acting since I was a child. I’ve played three gay roles out of hundreds." "I love my parents. Coming out to them was sort of coming out to myself. I educated them, and I wanted our relationship to keep growing. I wanted them to be a part of my life still. I wanted to be able to share with them what I was going through." More In Dad "My dad was always such a frustrated artist. He always worked very hard to support his family, doing a bunch of ridiculous jobs. He wanted to be a painter, but then he also wrote science-fiction novels in his spare time."― Rainn Wilson "My dad was the biggest influence on my life because he was never boring."― Christian Bale "I’m a fun father, but not a good father. The hard decisions always went to my wife."― John Lithgow
