I think it [ Difficult People] is for people who don't feel that they have been properly represented on TV. I think it's painting a very accurate if slightly exaggerated for comedic purposes view of the LGBT world in a way that we have never, ever seen in any television show.

I had a lot of fans in New York. The press would write about me, but I couldn't get a paying job.

Ironically, my rabbi was a bar mitzvah Nazi. So I got bar mitzvahed. And though I didn't want to, the theme of my bar mitzvah party was Madonna.

I have a very vivid memory.

I am invisible in gay bars.

I think New Yorkers - they're media savvy. People have a sense of humor.

I've had a lot of arguments with people, but it's never really gotten physical.
