Being able to live my life transparently does empower me to feel like I can be myself more. It's easier for me to flirt with girls now that girls know that I'm gay. It almost makes it a sexier encounter than if I was trying to pretend that I was straight.

I love physical stuff. I love circusy, weird, breathing fire and bucket-listy things.

I'm in a play on Broadway, I have an animated TV show coming up, I have a few movies that just came out.

I feel like with actors wanting to direct, you really only have a shot or two. You can't just make a bunch of little independent movies, and then finally one gets noticed. You have to make a really good one right away.

I think, in life, being nervous about something that's forthcoming is very helpful, whether it's an awards show or a family gathering or a job interview. If you're too calm and confident, then I think you aren't executing to the best of your ability. So I try not to let nerves get the best of me, but I welcome them because it tends to fuel me to try harder.

I don't like to be disparaging about my past roles. That's the only taboo that I don't like to cross.

I pride myself in being able to straddle demographics and if that was said as Barney Stinson it would mean a little different thing.
