I can't believe this, I'm arguing with a woman!

I try to say something about the human condition whenever I can when I'm lucky.

I'm a spiritual person, I'm an America, I'm a Jew, and all of those things influence every breath I take, everywhere I go.

I'm Jewish and I can sing and I'm alive.

Singing in Yiddish was a great thrill for me and came about through Joe Papp, the founder of The Public Theater.

I don't want people to sit and process the song. I want them to just let them bathe over them.

I moved to New York to go to Julliard Drama School. Didn't sing a single note of music.
