I think the way I can sing the way I sing is because of the way I talk to my animals. I hit some really high notes.

A well-rounded performer will listen to all kinds of music. I like classical, Middle Eastern, and rock a lot.

A show is exhausting when it stinks. It's exhausting when you have to work overtime to make something work.

My favorite composers are the ones that tell the story. I love Wagner. I love Mahler. Prokofiev. The programmatic music. I listen more to classic rock because I don't like the contemporary music very much.

I know what it means to have a leading part, and I know what it means to have a featured part.

I wish I could have a recurring role on 'Modern Family'. I think 'Modern Family' is the best comedy on television. It's extremely well written, extremely well acted and directed.

I think Madonna is a wonderful performer.
