"Have you met him? Have you ever wandered in his mind? It's a genius park. And that's not exaggerated at all. David is whip smart, with an untouchable sense of humour. I've never seen him out-quipped." ~ Téa Leoni, Total Film Magazine - August 2001
|
genius quotent |
"Gale has very strong opinions, and he's very political," says Queer as Folk executive producer Ron Cowen, with no small measure of pride. "Sometimes I think he's the smartest person I've ever met. I know a lot of smart, well-educated, well-read people. But there's something about Gale where it takes a leap from education or keen intelligence to some other place. Genius is a cheap word, especially in Hollywood. But he's really smart." ~ The Advocate - February 5, 2002
