Labels don't really impress, it's the uniqueness and risk in decor that inspire.

When I did 'Ugly Betty' it was very similar to working on 'Mad Men' - great group of people in their own little world. But I don't really see a lot of difference. Of course, on the cable shows, you can tackle subjects and be more specific, because networks have to appeal to the masses, but that's constantly changing and evolving.

It's funny... musical theater is what paid my rent and kept me going for the longest time.

You know, I think I was always intrigued by theater since I was a small child.

I tend to wake up in the middle of the night with ideas crying to be documented.

I didn't have any role models. I really thought I was doomed to this loveless, lonely life. I didn't know any gay people until I began doing theater.

Gay actors have been playing straight since Euripides.
