I look fine. I've had no surgery apart from an operation I had decades ago to remove the fat under my eyes. My mum looked 30 when she was 60, so I guess I owe it all to genes and hair dye.

My mom used to take me down to the Jersey Shore when I was 7, 8, 9 years old. I can remember being down in that area - Belmar, Seaside Heights, Asbury Park and all those places that I went back and revisited.

I had a lot of very religious influences - Christian religious.

I would be devastated if my son could not have music as part of his curriculum in school. It should not be a choice between culture and technical training - well-rounded students and graduates will make appropriate choices for their careers, but they must also be trained to make appropriate social choices.

It's not about the fame and the money because if you do good work all that stuff comes

My music was never considered cool, but I've always felt that connection with the audience.

I've been able to go on and have a successful career on Broadway and certainly the last five years in Las Vegas have been amazing.
