I Think Having A Dog

You've Just Got To Focus On What You Have To Do.

It Was So Much Fun To Have My Very First Tv (performance) Be The Holy Grail Of Comedy, In My Opinion. I Was The Guy From Chips And Then I Was Grizzly Adams. It Was Hysterical. We Got To Make Out. It Was Really Crazy, Fun Television.

I Grew Up Listening To Joni Mitchell's Version Of "a Case Of You." My Mom Was A Huge Joni Mitchell Fan.

My Very First Tattoo Was For My Dog, Zora, Who Died In My Arms In New York. Right Where Her Heart Stopped Beating I Got A "z".

A Few Years Ago, When I Was Writing Songs For My First Album, I Was Staying With Michael Feinstein As I Often Did. I Was Working On A Pilot. My Grandma Was Very Sick At The Time. She Died Of Complications From Alcoholism. She Always Used To Say [in His Grandma's Voice], "red Wine Is Good For My Heart. That's What My Doctor Said." And We'd Say, "yeah, But Not For Breakfast." Unfortunately, It Was The Thing That Killed Her. I Felt Inspired To Write A Song About Her And What That Meant For Her Life And For All Of Us. I Was Writing It In Michael's House.
