Quote

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
