… I hope that every time you’re asked what it was like to play Sean Penn’s lover in Milk (and let’s face it, given today’s journalists you’re going to be asked that in every interview), you don’t continue to respond like you did on Jimmy Kimmel:

“When I read the script, there was like, one kissing scene. No problem. It’s acting … So, but as soon as I signed on I get a new script. Page five, like, full-on love scene. There’s like three to five new love scenes in the movie. ‘Gus [Van Sant, the director]! What’s goin’ on?’”

I mean, you were good-natured about it and it’s not like you didn’t do all five of those love scenes.  It’s just that I long for the day when an actor doesn’t describe kissing a fellow actor of the same sex as if it was something challenging, daunting, or off-putting.  Let’s not take the bait or further indulge the frat-boy giggles of reporters, OK?  It’s gonna be a long press junket.
