Quote by Josh Brolin

“When the AIDS epidemic first started there were people who said, "Well, if there weren't gays, then we wouldn't have this problem. It's got to be because of them - let it be them instead of us." But when you educate yourself about it, you can't help but realize that we're all affected by it. I think that things like that just become too daunting for people.”

I'm very much an entertainer, and sensitive to the audience's perception of me. I often have to do unexpected things, even for myself.”
