Notes on David Hyde Pierce

"I don't like showing imperfections in real life, so acting's a way to do that." --Pierce quoted in Us, September 1996

"I used to think, 'I want to be in an Oliver Stone movie, but I'm not sure I want to work with Oliver Stone'. I liked working with him, but he's no bed of roses. He HAS his opinions, and if you want to challenge him, you better be prepared." --On working on the film "Nixon", quoted in Movieline, December 1995.

In 2007, Pierce revealed he is gay, after keeping his sexuality secret for decades. The actor has always refused to talk about his personal life, despite rumos about his sexual orientation. The 48-year-old actor allowed his long-term partner Brian Hargrove's name to be mentioned in an interview on CNN.com.
