People don't expect me to have a weird sense of humor, but I do. I'm very eccentric.

I was a 12 year old kid in Northern Idaho listening to Billie Holiday and Lena Horne and Sarah Vaughan and Nat King Cole. This whole genre of music is a part of who I am.

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.

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

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".

Nobody is ever just a straight up protagonist or antagonist - everybody's morally ambiguous.

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.
