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

I've certainly played those leading man or male juvenile roles, where you're not supposed to make people laugh.

I'm happy to say I haven't received that much negative feedback. I'm always thrilled when I get feedback from young people, particularly from The New Normal, young gay people - when they say they want that when they grow up, that means a lot to me. As a kid growing up, I didn't really have a lot of gay role models on television, so it's nice to be part of a movement that gives some more of those.

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

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

I live in the East Village, and occasionally people will recognize me there. When I'm in Williamsburg, I always get recognized. Midtown, not so much.

I still can't shake the Nebraska off of me.
