My life has flourished in so many ways both personally and professionally that I can't ask for a better life.

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

I've had a passion for horses since I was very young - I used to sit on the floor in front of the races on television and pretend to be a jockey - and I first began reading the racing form on the set of 'The Partridge Family.'

I have an audience that goes from kids to seventy year olds.

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.

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.

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.
