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

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.

My very first tattoo was for my dog, Zora, who died in my arms in New York. Right where her heart stopped beating I got a "Z".

Joan Mitchell, Joan Baez, Judy Collins - that was my mom's era.

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

Unfortunately, I suffer from insomnia, so my bedtime is as soon as I start to feel the least bit sleepy.

I came upon Diana Krall's jazz arrangement of "A Case of You" several years back. I've always wanted to pay homage to both her version and Joni's, and by proxy, my mom. She's the one that introduced me to that music.
