I think, as an actor, and particularly if you are playing the lead in something, you have to view yourself as the head of department for the cast. All of the other departments are accountable and have somebody at the helm who is leading them all the time, and I don't think that the actors should be any different.

When you get as lucky as I got, you have to work as hard as possible to earn that luck.

Because I'm short and slim, I can identify with somebody who's an unlikely fit for something and desperately wants to be part of it.

Both of my parents have been actors; there were a lot of show tunes on in the car all of the time. I grew up with that.

Some people think I am gay, which I think is awesome.

I've never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don't get the people who are cool. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that they don't interest me.

You don't have to be gay to be a supporter- you just have to be a human.
