I think the first Broadway show that I saw was 'Beauty and the Beast,' and that was in 5th or 6th grade. Our school would take bus trips up to see shows, and so it was on one of their bus trips that I got to see 'Beauty and the Beast.'

It's daunting, taking on the task of representing the gay community, because there are so many different facets and different schools of thought and behavior.

I beat 'Super Mario Bros 1,' '2,' and '3.'

I feel like, with a television show, you're always biting your nails hoping you're going to get that next season.

I love interacting with an audience. I love just being myself in front of a crowd.

I did have AOL Instant Messenger when I was in middle school.

I wanted to work with Michael Mayer because I'd seen 'Thoroughly Modern Millie' six times.

I've never had trouble sleeping in my life.

When you get to really involve yourself with a piece and the other people, and you get to feel like it's a community and you're all building something together, it helps me to produce better work, I think.

I smile a lot in my real life.

I'd rather be a working actor and not hiding anything in my personal life.

The hardest I've ever laughed was with Lea Michele.

I did 'How to Succeed in Business... ,' 'Kiss Me Kate,' 'Godspell,' and 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown' in high school, all of which were fun.

I feel like certainly there are people expecting 'Looking' to be representative of everyone that's gay, the entire gay community. And it's a dangerous expectation to come in watching the show expecting that. Expecting that out of any show.

'Looking' is more than just a television show. It's contributing to the cultural conversation, and for me, those are the most exciting projects to be a part of.

I was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania - in Amish Country!

I never look at myself online, and I don't read gossip Web sites.

There's something special about 'Looking.'

I'm very selective about television because you sign away so much of your life to it.

I'd moved to New York to pursue a career in theatre, and it's very practical how you do it - I just went to every open call going.

When I was doing 'Spring Awakening' the first couple of years I was living in New York, I was gay, and I was living with my 'roommate,' who was my boyfriend but was my roommate to everyone else.

I did 'Spring Awakening' on Broadway for about three years, and I did over 500 performances.

I got cast for 'Spring Awakening' when I was 20. Every dream I had came true in that moment.

Trying to sound good at 10 A.M. is the worst.
