Randy Harrison - Quotes

"Oh, yeah. I'm definitely a Yankee, a New Englander at heart. Both my parents are Southerners, so they always wanted to go back to the South. I was always the shame of the family-the one Yankee who was actually born in the North." - Randy on being born in New Hampshire

"I guess I had a suspicion of it my entire life without knowing exactly what it was-knowing that there was something different about me, which I attributed to being an artist. At 11 or 12 I started sort of clarifying for myself. It took a while. " - Randy on understanding he was gay

"No, no, no! Is it ever? I mean, no, it was terrible. I never fell in love - Randy on his first time

"I think doing any series where you are seen as the same character twenty-two hours in a season can make it difficult for an actor to be seen as any other character. However, I also think that it's an amazing opportunity to be able to spend so much time working with good scripts and good directors, and other talented actors. I have no idea what I will do in the future. But, I look forward to seeing what kind of opportunities will present themselves, and am prepared to face whatever challenges playing this role will bring up for me as an actor. " -Randy on being typecasted
