I am mildly addicted to Mucinex-D. I feel like I should just come clean about that.

At a very early age I knew I wanted to be an actor and then more specifically that I wanted to be on Broadway and be in musicals.

As an actor, particularly in theatre, you're trying to get jobs on TV; but you're also losing jobs in theatre to people who are on television.

Always my fallback is - I'm gonna move to a poor town and open a scone shop.

I figure, oftentimes the best way in is through humor, and you can deal with serious situations a lot easier, or at least bring up the conversation.

Girls was the first television show I got to be a part of, and that was here in New York. Getting to work with Lena Dunham, and to work with HBO and Judd Apatow, and then being a big fan of Ryan Murphy, I couldn't have asked for a better opportunity than this.

When I was a kid, there were hardly any gay story lines or characters on television that I recall. Then when I was in college, 'Will & Grace' started up.
