When I was growing up, there was a character on TV; there was a character stereotype: it was personified by Mel on 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.'

I would not be unhappy were I the last cisgender male to play a female transgender on television.

I came to New York late; I was already past 30.

The Emmy should be an ensemble award, too. I kept howling at everyone else's performances.

All in all, 18 individuals from my family are missing, including my six brothers and my mother, my brothers' wives, my nephews and nieces.

I have realised that to ensure my family stays healthy, it is important I stay fit and healthy myself.

The family is very important. They make me feel good always because if I won, when I started to be famous, the relationship never changed with my friends and family.

I grew up being terrified of my parents, particularly my father figures.
