Bringing up a child in a loving relationship is the most important thing.

Growing up, one of my cousins was an out gay man.

I never thought I would be somewhat of a gay icon.

I sort of look at music as helping me get through situations.

I wasn't a great student; I was lazy. But when I was in sociology class, I listened.

I'm a regular dude from Kansas who grew up with pigs and cows.

My mom's passionate and energetic and very funny and enthusiastic.

No, I'm not gay.

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.

The most important thing for me as an actor playing a character is to make you laugh. That's my No. 1 goal.

TV is definitely easier hours.

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.

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.
