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.

I did my New York debut at 21. It was “On the Town” at the George Gershwin Theatre. New York is my artistic home.

Well, certainly at the Golden Globes, during every commercial break everyone gets up and schmoozes with each other.

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.

I could smell myself awake with that coffee.

You left , and my heart is a ceaseless sermon of loneliness.

I don't have that kind of voice, the big baritone or rousing tenor sound. My wheelhouse was in the frothier pieces. So my appreciation for those older musicals and revivals grew.
