Tituss Burgess

I don't like flashy things.

I don't enjoy attention as much as people may think I do.

Ellie Kemper I just adore. She is such a warm, generous actor, and we have this wonderful rapport off camera, and that's very important.

I hate L.A. Can't be bothered.

I love 'Bates Motel.' I'm a huge Vera Farmiga fan, and I'm a huge Freddie Highmore fan. In fact, that entire principal casting.

I've always given attention to detail. I've always given my heart and soul into a lyric, into a line.

When I cook at home, most of the people I cook for want to be in the kitchen while I'm cooking. I love nothing more than someone monitoring how much salt I put into something, how much pepper I add - but nothing that you can offer is going to sway how I decide to deliver information to you; you'll either receive it or you won't.

I make amazing fried chicken. The secret is taco seasoning.

Life moves so fast, my friend. I am just lucky and happy to have the people I care about there along with me, watching all of this occur.

Carol Kane is just as warm as you would think she is, and she is so smart and really a living legend and has so much to offer.

Taking care of children was not something I was good at.

My microphone went out in the 2009 Tony Awards. It was my big moment, and I was so excited to perform and lead the cast; I sang 'Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat.' Every actor dreams of standing front and center on the Tony Awards, and I start to sing, and you hear this crackling. I had no idea what to do - were they going to stop a live telecast?
