“I always wanted to be a part of the storytelling process. I remember going to see movies as a kid and it was such an amazing escape for me. It taught me to access my imagination in different ways. So I thought, ‘Wow, I want to be a part of that.’” Matt Bomer for GQ Italia
“I don’t cry a lot, but I’m not gonna lie, I cried when I saw the fan video from my birthday last year. I’m so blown away by the fans, and so grateful. They’ve stuck by me through thick and thin, and that means more to me than I could ever express in words. At times I feel like they believe in me more than I believe in myself, and that’s bolstered me through lots of stormy weather. When you’ve been doing a job for four years, a lot of times you have to dig deep to stay as motivated as you want to. The fans are always there as that motivation for me. No matter how tired or stressed I am, I will always give my best for them.” Matt Bomer in Da Man Magazine
Matt Bomer meets former President Bill Clinton at the GLAAD Media Awards. Or maybe it should be Bill Clinton, while wearing a fedora incidentally, finally meets Neal Caffrey:
[at the dinner after the 2010 Kennedy Center Honors which Matt sung at] “And Bill Clinton was at the table next to us with Paul McCartney. I noticed that he kept looking over in my direction and at first I thought you know, he’s probably looking over at one of these other artists or whatever. And then he kept looking over at the table. Then I thought maybe he thought I was part of his security detail or something. And then when it was over, my mom and I split I think because we were just so glad, coming from Spring, Texas, that we didn’t break any china at the White House. And we left and the next day, the guy who’s the head of it all comes up to me and like’s ‘Hey man, where’d you go last night? Bill was looking for you.’ And I thought I was in trouble; I thought I was late to rehearsal or something, ‘Bill who, Bill?’ And he’s like, ‘Bill Clinton. He told us that no matter where he goes in the world, he always Hulu’s your show. Or watches your show or Tivo’s your show.’ And I was like ‘What?! You can’t tell me that! Only my grandma watches the show.’ And now every time I do a take, I’m gonna think ‘This better be good cuz Bill’s going to be watching this.’” -from Jimmy Kimmel Live
