"I've been crossing many of my own frontiers in my life, now I'm encountering what I believe to be the last real frontier in Hollywood which is what it means of an openly gay leading man type actor playing a romantic straight role."
About his character, Jacob Kean, in the movie, "Kiss Me Deadly."
"if you think about (Jason) Bourne or superheroes or (James) Bond, their sexuality is just a given and that's the way it is," said Robert, who is an openly gay actor. "When I first mentioned the notion of a gay spy, people laughed and said it must be a comedy. But no, this is a guy who just happens to be gay, and can kick ass."
"I actually had a great time with her," Robert said. "I didn't know going in what to expect. She was great to work with, a diva in the best sense of the word. She's a strong, powerful woman who doesn't let herself get pushed around. That's something that a lot of gay people can relate to."
About, "The Gayonic Man."
"I think it's gonna be hilarious and awesome," he said. I think we'll actually be able to get some interesting message stuff across. I'm really grateful for everything that's going on."
About the "Larry King Live," Interview.
"My plan was to come out but to come out on my terms," Robert said. "I really struggled with that particular interview. I had watched Larry King and knew going in that if i were to go there on this show, I would have no opportunity to talk about it and I had waited my whole life to. what I was going to do was write my own article and that's what we had pitched to The Advocate. I'm so grateful that I gave myself that opportunity rather than feeling thrust into a moment."
