  • Luckily for me I have a very supportive family and a loving group of friends.

  • 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.

  • My mother was predominately a stay-at-home mom.

  • I've been pretty career-focused since moving to New York.

  • I haven't really made up my mind concretely about having kids.

  • Always my fallback is - I'm gonna move to a poor town and open a scone shop. Sometimes after some bad auditions I think, you know what - time to open that scone shop! Let's start baking.

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

  • Even though I'm from the Midwest, the majority of my life has been spent on the coasts where being gay wasn't really much of a conversation.

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

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

  • At a very early age I knew I wanted to be an actor and then more specifically that I wanted to be on Broadway and be in musicals.

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

  • As an actor, you generally don't get to choose what projects you are part of, so I've been very fortunate that 'The Book of Mormon' was something I got to be part of. I don't want to be lofty, but it was groundbreaking, in many ways, for musical theater, so that was really thrilling to be part of.

  • When I was a kid, there were hardly any gay story lines or characters on television that I recall. Then when I was in college, 'Will & Grace' started up.

  • I'm 6'2 and not a small person.

  • I can't wake up at all without caffeine.

  • This is a musical, ma'am. If there's no gay, there's a problem.

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

  • I used to do community theater with Conor Oberst.

  • As a kid, I was fortunate that we grew up near a children's theater, with all different classes and things; so as a kid I took classes there and as I got into high school I did all the community theater stuff. Then I came to college in New York and studied acting there. But most of the training I got was from working. Working with really great people.

  • So much of being an actor is trying to force yourself into these roles and sometimes it's a good fit, and sometimes it's not a good fit. You have to get clear about what it is that you do and not try to be a bunch of other people. Not try to be that guy or try to play that part; find the roles that you do well.

  • I think as a young person, you're kind of game for whatever sometimes.

  • As an actor, particularly in theatre, you're trying to get jobs on TV; but you're also losing jobs in theatre to people who are on television.

  • I love doing both theater and television.

  • I am mildly addicted to Mucinex-D. I feel like I should just come clean about that.
