When I was in high school, there was no safe haven, there was no outlet for you to speak your mind.

I'm from a very athletic family, and I thoroughly enjoyed sports as a kid, but acting was a way of expressing myself and having fun. It was something I found on my own.

You're not going to do that. If you gave your best to what you were given, at the time, it's going to play out how it's going to play out.

New York City is one of the greatest places on the planet. You have the best in food, art, theatre, and definitely people-watching.

As actors you're always going to take certain roles that are in your comfort zone and take ones that aren't.
Matt Bomer

I don't think it's a bad thing to go out there and challenge yourself as an actor.
Matt Bomer
-
I'm so grateful to be born in the times I live in and to be provided the opportunities I've been given. I'd be wrong to complain.
Matt Bomer

I don't know anybody who walks through life all the time in the doldrums, constantly serious and morose. But that's become what we generalize as drama.
Matt Bomer
-
When you really put your heart and soul into something, the temptation is to try to be in control of circumstances, however you can, and looking and seeing how people are responding. But I realized, early on, that that was just not going to be a healthy thing for me to do.
Matt Bomer
-
I pretty much got busted for everything, but I definitely stretched out my boundaries as a kid, as well.
Matt Bomer
-
It was a gift to get to play a gay role that was written in a three-dimensional, human way.

I had a normal childhood where I was able to cultivate my own creativity, and I don't think I would have been ready for this crazy business at 8 years old.

Kids aren't born to be bullies, they're taught to be bullies.
Matt Bomer

I think if you start to think too much about things that are completely out of control, it will just drive you crazy as an actor.

I got a .30-30 for Christmas in the seventh grade. It wasn't what I asked for, by the way.

I came from a long line of football players.

I grew up on theater, and honestly, I'm trying to figure out a way with a family and kids and living in Los Angeles to get back to the stage because it is my first love.
Matt Bomer
-
I'm a huge fan of 'The Vampire Chronicles,' both the Neil Jordan film and the books themselves.
Matt Bomer

I love that Amazon has this incredibly unique, diplomatic process where people's voices are heard, and we're using this great interconnectedness we have, via the Internet, to weigh in and to have a say in what we want to see and what we don't.
Matt Bomer
-
Certainly, when you're dealing with more deep, emotional work and sensory work, for me, it helps me to just stay in it.
