Actor Kevin Spacey responds to gay prodding: ‘I don’t live a lie.’
”I don’t live a lie. You have to understand that people who choose not to discuss their personal lives are not living a lie…. I am different than some people would like me to be. I just don’t buy into that the personal can be political. I just think that’s horseshit…. [You’re] saying that you are gay and that is how you walk about in the world and it has nothing to do with your true private life is a good distinction for you to draw. But it’s not such a good distinction for other people.”

In this latest interview with The Daily Beast, the interviewer identifies himself as a gay man and asks Spacey why he does not publicly do the same.
