The world today is the same as it always was but people know more about what's going on in the world than they used to.

I'm not impersonating anybody. I'm perfectly satisfied with what I am.

I don't know why I'm alive but I know there's a reason for it.

A lot of stuff I do, 10 years later it becomes popular.

My father was a Norwegian tenor and my mother a New York Irish librarian.

I mean, if you asked me what I’m going to be doing when I’m 85, I’d make a quick picture in my mind and, well, I’ll be singing.

Music is my love and to me acting is more mercenary. I don't pound the pavements for roles: if it happens, it happens. I hate that auditioning thing.
