I really like the melody "Red Wine Is Good For My Heart" and people respond to it. I decided to put it on the album.

People may have said, "The dude's gay; how are we going to market this?" But it's not an issue for me, because being out is very freeing.

Looking at the original lyrics [of "A Song For You" ] as I was preparing it, I thought, "Wow! I feel like it was written for me." That's what a great song does. You don't have to do a lot of homework. You can just say the words and it springs to life.

I grew up listening to Joni Mitchell's version of "A Case of You." My mom was a huge Joni Mitchell fan.

I'm a New Yorker; my oven is used for storage.

You've just got to focus on what you have to do.

I understand why the gay community wants to embrace actors who are out. People want to be represented.
