I’m definitely drawn to things that are new, so something specifically for me would have been fun.
I think God has a plan for all of us, and even if that plan includes Hell, its still a plan.
Unfortunately, I suffer from insomnia, so my bedtime is as soon as I start to feel the least bit sleepy.
People either love me or they think I’m obnoxious. I get that.
I’m a Broadway baby, through and through. It’s my first love, and it’s what brought me to New York in the first place.
Theater dressing rooms are my home away from home – my second home, really.
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”.
Believe it or not, my best meal is to go to the store and buy a DiGiorno pizza, come home, add some fresh Parmesan cheese, and just hang with my family!
I think having a dog makes you more compassionate.
I’m a New Yorker; my oven is used for storage.
I really like the melody “Red Wine Is Good For My Heart” and people respond to it. I decided to put it on the album.
The more it happens, the easier it is for others, although I do understand why some actors choose not to come out. I have several famous friends who are still in the closet.
I came upon Diana Krall’s jazz arrangement of “A Case of You” several years back. I’ve always wanted to pay homage to both her version and Joni’s, and by proxy, my mom. She’s the one that introduced me to that music.
Joan Mitchell, Joan Baez, Judy Collins – that was my mom’s era.
I grew up listening to Joni Mitchell’s version of “A Case of You.” My mom was a huge Joni Mitchell fan.
Initially, in starting to pick the songs for the live show, it was really a matter of picking songs that I loved over the years. As far as the album goes, it happened very naturally.
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.
Nobody is ever just a straight up protagonist or antagonist – everybody’s morally ambiguous.
