Quotes
"Well, you know, being that I'm different than Cameron in that I'm a straight, straight, female loving man…the biggest, fun aspect of it is some of the support that I've gotten from some of my male fans. It's very much appreciated. And I take it all as a compliment, and I would say that's probably been the biggest thing. Jesse (Tyler Ferguson) gets very jealous, because girls are after him, and guys are after me, and we need to figure out how to switch those two things around." - The TV Chick interviewhttp://thetvchick.com/interviews/interview-eric-stonestreet-cameron-from-modern-family/
