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.

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

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.

You could reach gay audiences by going on 'Will & Grace' certainly, but it's a very expensive program, and you are reaching a lot of other consumers as well.

(Jack prepairing to tell his mom he's gay)
Grace: You'd think after 30 years it'd be liberating.
Jack: Oh no, we're not telling her I'm 30!

I don't recall any interest in science in particular. It came later in college.
