There are certainly actors who I felt rivalries with, but then, as time goes on, you realize that you have to keep your eyes on your own paper because everybody's doing their own work.
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.
My mother was predominately a stay-at-home mom.
There was something really special about working with Lena Dunham. I immediately felt very comfortable with her, and we spoke the same language.
My career, definitely, the early years were a little scattershot, in terms of - it was a little regional theater, it was a lot of voiceovers, it was a lot of random day jobs. I mean, it was hard. It was hard to scrap around, and once 'Hairspray' happened, then it all kind of clicked into place.
I didn't have an agent until I got 'Hairspray.' I had to get a Broadway show without an agent to get an agent.
