I Grew Up Listening To

I Understand Why The Gay Community Wants To Embrace Actors Who Are Out. People Want To Be Represented.

People May Have Said, "the Dude's Gay; How Are We Going To Market This?" But It's Not An Issue For Me, Because Being Out Is Very Freeing.

People Don't Expect Me To Have A Weird Sense Of Humor, But I Do. I'm Very Eccentric.

I Love Jane [krakowski]. Jane's Been A Dear Friend For Maybe A Dozen Years. We've Worked Together On Many Shows And Concerts And Readings. We Did 'damn Yankees' Together And Then We Did 'xanadu.' Jane Did All The Workshops Of 'xanadu' Before It Moved To Broadway. She's Hysterical And Our Voices Blended. We Had A Similar Sensibility.

I Was A 12 Year Old Kid In Northern Idaho Listening To Billie Holiday And Lena Horne And Sarah Vaughan And Nat King Cole. This Whole Genre Of Music Is A Part Of Who I Am.
