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.

More quotes by Cheyenne Jackson
I understand why the gay community wants to embrace actors who are out. People want to be represented.
Cheyenne Jackson
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.

You've just got to focus on what you have to do.

Looking at the original lyrics [of A Song For You ] as I was preparing it, I thought, Wow! I feel like it was written for me. That's what a great song does. You don't have to do a lot of homework. You can just say the words and it springs to life.

I grew up listening to Joni Mitchell's version of A Case of You. My mom was a huge Joni Mitchell fan.

People either love me or they think I'm obnoxious. I get that.

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.

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 really like the melody Red Wine Is Good For My Heart and people respond to it. I decided to put it on the album.

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.
Cheyenne Jackson
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!
Cheyenne Jackson
I have insomnia, and it's hard for me to sit still for a long time. My mind is always tick, tick, tick.
Cheyenne Jackson
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.
Cheyenne Jackson
I'm a New Yorker my oven is used for storage.
Cheyenne Jackson
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.
Cheyenne Jackson
I'm definitely drawn to things that are new, so something specifically for me would have been fun.
Cheyenne Jackson
I have huge legs, and I never show them - not because of false modesty, I'm just not comfortable.
Cheyenne Jackson
'30 Rock' is the holy grail of comedy in my opinion.
