I’ve lived on this earth as if out of place

“Some girl wrote me “I think you should be on Glee, you could play Blaine’s dad”. And I never respond, I mean I don’t generally respond, but I wrote back, I was like, “You’ve got a lot of fucking nerve”. To a child, I’m sure. Blaine’s dad? Are you out of your goddamn mind? I was just filled with rage. And I was like, that means I’m also Matt Bomer’s father. I was so pissed. And I had friends over at the time, they were like “Don’t write her back, don’t write her back”. I was like, “No, I’m writing her back”. So mad. To be Matt Bomer’s father.”
