I'm very mindful of trying to do something good in the world. When I see injustice in the world, it's very hard for me.
I've certainly developed as a vocalist. I find my early recordings very difficult to listen to.
Most of the musicals I go to I simply don't enjoy, so I don't go to them unless a number of people I trust say I have to.
I started out as a pianist and singer in gay and piano bars - they were the only places I could get a job singing show tunes.
I've always found that the most powerful way to create change is to be myself and not be afraid to express who I am.
Believe in yourself, and find ways to express yourself, and find the discipline to keep growing.
For me, there is no point in doing a duet unless it is organic or there is an emotional thru line.
Certainly the most requested song in performance is 'Love is Here to Stay,' and that is a favorite for me.
There's a truth that comes through when an author performs his own work that is unique and special.
My entire career proves to me that if you believe in what you're doing, you will reap the benefits.
