I tell people all the time that producers, writers, and directors really don't know what they want until it walks into the room - you have to show them what they want. Everyone is rooting for you when you walk into the room. Everyone wants you to be good because it means their day is over!
I got dared to audition for a play by my best friend Paul. He got cast in 'Hamlet,' and I got cast in 'Prelude to a Kiss,' and that changed everything.
My mom's passionate and energetic and very funny and enthusiastic.
I have a Tinder account. Now I've done Bumble, and I've tried this other one, and the way I justified it is that... because I'm on TV, I shouldn't be eliminated from participating in what's going on in the world. But people are always like, 'I can't believe you're on a dating app!'
The most important thing for me as an actor playing a character is to make you laugh. That's my No. 1 goal.
I'm a regular dude from Kansas who grew up with pigs and cows.
No, I'm not gay.
Bringing up a child in a loving relationship is the most important thing.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a clown. I didn't want to be an actor, I wanted to join the circus and entertain people.
I never thought I would be somewhat of a gay icon.
My dad had a retail business in Leavenworth, Kansas, and there's a whole bunch of prisons there, so it was a backdrop of my childhood, these ominous prisons sitting off the road.
I wasn't a great student; I was lazy. But when I was in sociology class, I listened.
Growing up, one of my cousins was an out gay man.
TV is definitely easier hours.
People don't realize how long hours are when you're shooting a movie.
Quickly you learn it's way better to have fans talking and caring about you than not.
I sort of look at music as helping me get through situations.
I've never lived in New York. I've never done a play off or on Broadway, so I think that's in my future. Have that experience - get a little apartment in the city and grow a beard and walk around with earbuds in my ears, and a stocking cap and a big giant scarf.
I took a sociology class, and I got an A in it. Then I found out you could get an emphasis in criminal justice. I wanted to be an administrator.
I'm always open to meeting people, but I would be lying if I didn't say that my trust issues have changed because of 'Modern Family.'
