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

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

I'm a Broadway baby, through and through. It's my first love, and it's what brought me to New York in the first place.

'30 Rock' is the holy grail of comedy in my opinion.

The more it happens, the easier it is for others, although I do understand why some actors choose not to come out. I have several famous friends who are still in the closet.

You sing songs hundreds of times over and over, but certain ones just morph and naturally, as you age and get life experience, take on a different form as well. When I was looking at songs for the album, I thought, "Which are the ones that connect with me the most? What do I think would work in album form?" Almost all of them I've done in shows.

I'm definitely drawn to things that are new, so something specifically for me would have been fun.
