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.

If you get into multicultural sort of casting for no other reason than to diversify, then it seems false.

The majority of celebrities that come to the show actually don't come backstage. Because they don't know that they can.

I think Girls is so great, because versions of it are close to my own experience of moving to New York. It's a fun. You know - get to be messy and silly and irresponsible, but also wrap that up at the end of the day and be an adult. It's a fun time, but not necessarily one you want to stay in for too long.

My mother was predominately a stay-at-home Mom.

I don't want to be lofty, but it was groundbreaking, in many ways, for musical theater, so that was really thrilling to be part of The Book of Mormon . And Girls felt very much the same way - there was an excitement about it as we were doing it; I knew it was something special.

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