Eric Stonestreet

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!'

I'm an actor in that I just want to create roles and characters and play parts that people remember and like or dislike or hate.

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.

Quickly you learn it's way better to have fans talking and caring about you than not.

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

No, I'm not gay.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Most people don't think of actors and people like us that are performers and out in the world as introverts, but I like to know I can trust someone first.

Because makeup happens in my life as an actor, face wash is a key. I use La Mer cleansing gel every morning, every night, sometimes three times a day. Also, I use Bobbi Brown's Hydrating Face Tonic that you put on after you wash your face. It just rejuvenates your face. It takes away that morning face.
