I wish my Google was faster.
I really don't like to lose.
I think it's fun to love-to-hate people.
Michelle [ Pfeiffer] was perfect as Miss Baltimore Crabs.
I got to see Linda's [Hart] live when it first came on Broadway. I just loved her. I've always been a fan of hers.
I'm constantly changing up my show. It's never the same.
There might be two or three songs I'm trying out. I've been singing these songs (on the new album) in the studio, but I haven't really done them live. It's intimate to sing them in a studio. Now, I've got to be on a stage and be in front of a lot of people.
The thing is, I would need the right producer [for dance-music album ], right? "Calling all dance music producers! I'm available.
"I Get Along Without You Very Well" is not as well-known. It's complicated. First of all, it's range-y. It's not necessarily an easy sing. It's also deep. A lot of times people just don't want to go there.
I wanted to honor [George Gershwin]. He's a great American songwriter.
I started cutting my teeth on "Someone To Watch Over Me" [George Gershvin] in the college. I've sung that one for a while. There's something so simple and sweet about that lyric.
As far as what made it on there [The Art of Elegance record], it was tough. It's probably one or two songs too long, but I just couldn't (cut any more). That's what I ended up with. I'm really proud of it.
You go in and record and sing them some and you go back in and rerecord and sing them some more. That's kind of how I did this album [The Art of Elegance].
[Songs] have to be a part of you. They have to be in your DNA. That's how I approached it.
Lots of these songs I hadn't performed, but I've always wanted to. These are songs that I wanted to get in my wheelhouse. I sang them over and over and over and over again. Of course, I've fallen in love with them all.
I've got to include things like "I've Got A Crush On You," and put my stamp on it with the (openly gay) saxophonist Dave Koz.
I think, for me, I have to remember that I'm telling a story in some way.
I would love to make an album full of ballads. For a listener, I want to have variety on there.
I had to cut a lot of things I wanted to keep [in The Art of Elegance]. I'm going to have to do a part two for sure.

I'm kind of a weirdo; I love prison movies and war movies.
I love live theater; I like the relationship between the show and the audience. That's my comfort zone, but more than anything, it's what makes me happy.
I think... you know, collaboration, in general - no matter movies, television or Broadway - is offering of what you can bring to the table and also fighting what you think the important battles are. Not everything is going to make it in there. Not everything is going to work. You have to collaborate. And you have to be a good listener.
We were all given our opportunities to be ourselves. A little bit of ourselves.
I'm very, very sad to say that the only Sondheim show I've done is "A Little Night Music" and it was when I was in college.
