People need to have opportunity; that’s what’s going to make the whole industry grow and blossom. As a person who’s involved with it and as a person who’s an audience member, I really hope that starts to happen.

5. Peter Staley:

   For a closeted gay man, it was probably the worst environment I could have chosen, it was very infuriating and humiliating for someone who had a dark secret like I had.
