Co.Create wrote an article that contained an interview with Billy Eichner about his fearlessness and rising stardom. Here's an excerpt from the piece:
"A lot of people in Hollywood, and everywhere pretty much, operate on fear. No one wants to get fired, so everyone’s scared to take a chance. There’s money involved, and there are careers and reputations on the line. It can really pay to take a chance, though, and that’s how I operate. I’ll go up to a threatening-looking man and ask if he wants to have sex with other guys. I haven’t given a shit ever. I care deeply about my show, but in terms of what people are going to think—"Is it too edgy? Is it too obscure? Is it too gay?"—I never think about that. I think, “Is this funny? Is this smart? Is this worth people’s time?" If it is, it’s worth the risk."
