Growing up, I was a very shy kid but I felt that being on stage or playing another character would somehow open me up. And I think it did.

Having red hair is never good when you're a kid. I was picked on a lot and didn't have a lot of friends. But I think that gave me a thick skin and helped make me a better person.

All my roots are Broadway. I got my Equity Card doing a Broadway show, and my first love is theater.

I'm holding a teardrop for a friend Until his heartache and misery end.

I'm so in love, every time I look at you my soul gets dizzy.

This show does something very special for the gay community. There's a message hidden inside the totally gaudy package that is so fun to watch. It's all about loving and accepting yourself, and every season I'm surprisingly moved by it.

Something I didn't even know was on my bucket list has been achieved. I have cooked Thanksgiving dinner with Martha Stewart. I vow to follow the gospel of her teachings and do my very best in the remarkably less glamorous kitchen of my own home... without the luxury of magically appearing prep bowls filled by a staff of sous chefs.
