In my entire life growing up I've never heard my dad say an unkind word about anyone. My father has always taken the high road in life and to me he's a complete inspiration without being a pushover.

What I have noticed which I'm not nuts about that the trend that a lot of shows are hiring the American Idol type of talent without real training and real technique and I think that audiences are smart and sometimes seeing that things are not as high caliber as they were before.

I think there is an evolving art taking place on Broadway.

I want to be sure that if people are coming to a show and paying $100 that I want to give them their money's worth. I try to give 100 percent.

I'm a really spiritual person and I've never experienced anything. In fact I'm thinking of taking this ghost tour in Philly.

I loved playing Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. I mean you can't do better than playing God!

Members of the press sometimes print things that aren't true.

As far as entertainers, I know I'll sound like a cliché but they don't make 'em, like they use to. Barbra Streisand is one of them, also Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. The first theater voice I heard on a record was Ethel Merman and again, they just don't make them like that anymore.
