I have a wife and a son, but the gay rumors have started. I guess it's a sign that I'm moving up the ladder.

I've always felt embraced by the Broadway community even before I felt like I earned it.

To this day, I am the least materialistic person I know, because my father didn't raise me to just go out and buy this or that car. The only reason I wanted to make money as an actor was because I'm passionate about food!

To get down to the quick of it, respect motivates me - not success.

Americans are the most generous country on the planet. I've worked in Europe, I've worked in Australia. There is no where else where you get absolutely no attitude for being a foreigner. If you do your job well, they embrace you.

I remember at one point being in fellowship, and everyone used to wear the fish symbol; it said you were a Christian. So I asked my father, 'Dad, why don't you wear that at work?' And he said, 'Your religion should be in your actions.' He set a great, great example.

I can't stand the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard!
