Randy Harrison...

I love this quote...

"Right now, being gay is not a factor in my decision not to have kids, it’s more about economics. Having a child is financially prohibitive for me as a stage actor. If I was better off, maybe I’d feel differently. I’ve even sometimes think that if I was straight, right after I ended my run on ’Queer as Folk’, it would have been the perfect time for me to get pregnant. I had money and I was in a stable relationship. Who knows, I might have four kids by now. Thankfully, I am not menopausal quite yet."

Thank you so much for this! Beautiful, talented, smart and socially conscious... what a man! And he's not menopausal... yet! Ohh, the mpreg possibilities this quote implies... ;)

Now... (my facetious, knee-jerk response done)... I want to commend the talented (and apparently underpaid) Mr. Harrison for his thoughtful and responsible choices. Too many parents (sadly, myself included) have let their hormones scream and their biological clocks tick so loudly they drown out the responsible voices. And having a child should be the most responsible choice we make.

By the way, where is the quote from?

I agree I can't help thinking about mpreg possibilities... He, he, he...

I understand he's making the responsible choice, but just thinking about mini Randy's running around makes me smile...

This quote is from last week, on his Qaf - Qwan posting, just keep paging down and you'll see it...

It's originally from this article, where you'll find other delicious quotes that Randy discloses about himself.

I also was distressed to learn that he's apparently underpaid . . . an unacceptable state of affairs for such an immensely talented man.

Thanks for the link to the interview, its always great to hear his thoughts... Maybe he'll take one of those film roles and be able to bankroll some savings...

What a great quote. I always wondered how his financial situation was now that he basically does stage and lots of free reads. Equity scale is okay money, but not great by any means. It's so sad. I so wish he and Gale didn't have the struggles they are having for roles and possibly money.

Love that picture and poise.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Beautiful.

All the best,

I know their such great actors, I really wish they were offered more interesting rolls...

I loved that pic of Randy too, I found it just searching around the web today... I also found Randy's Qwan website and was surprised that he had a qaf page following everyone's career after qaf...

Thanks for sharing this! LOL! - what a funny quote! :)
In reading comments, it led me to the entire article- so thanks for that too!
Do you happen to have a link for the Qaf page on the Qwan website that you mention?

[7wildwaysup.livejournal.com]

I did a search on Qwan which brought up this page;

And then I clicked on Qaf and it took me to this page;

I thought that it was Randy's website but I might be wrong...

Enjoy Darling, Later ~ Kathleen

Great quote. Read the article. Beautiful pic. Where did it come from?

I really enjoyed the article too... I'm not sure when the pic was taken, I just found it yesterday doing a search on Randy Harrison, images...

He is so beautiful and relaxed in that pic...
