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.
You've just got to focus on what you have to do.
'30 Rock' is the holy grail of comedy in my opinion.
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.
Nobody is ever just a straight up protagonist or antagonist - everybody's morally ambiguous.
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.
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.
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'd love to be able to be invisible, because I like to eavesdrop.
I'm definitely drawn to things that are new, so something specifically for me would have been fun.
I understand why the gay community wants to embrace actors who are out. People want to be represented.
You sing songs hundreds of times over and over, but certain ones just morph and naturally, as you age and get life experience, take on a different form as well. When I was looking at songs for the album, I thought, "Which are the ones that connect with me the most? What do I think would work in album form?" Almost all of them I've done in shows.
People know if you've got the goods, if you're easy to work with, and if you can get the job done.
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".
Michael, from 'Six Dance Lessons...' He was somebody who had a lot of self-loathing; being a gay man who lost his family and felt ostracized. It was an interesting character to play. He was so bitter and jaded about life. Even though I'm not like that personally, everybody has a side of themselves that tends to look at the negative side of things. He was an interesting character to play.
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 really like the melody "Red Wine Is Good For My Heart" and people respond to it. I decided to put it on the album.
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.
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 grew up listening to Joni Mitchell's version of "A Case of You." My mom was a huge Joni Mitchell fan.
