Many kids turn to selling drugs. It's not a good career choice, but they see it as a way to get money.

Winning the Pulitzer is not that big a deal. I have seen hundreds of plays that have won the prize and you couldn't sit half way through it. The Pulitzer is a common prize that means very little.

I often sit back and think, I wish I'd done that, and find out later that I already have.

There's more fiction in my life than in books, so I don't bother with them.

I think I have a hard time expressing myself in my relationships. I use songs to tell people how I'm feeling. If I can't say 'I love you,' I'll write a song about it and hope that the person figures it out.

The roughest make-up I ever wore was for 'Phantom of the Opera' because the phantom's face was all disfigured, and he's trying to pass in public so he can attend his beloved opera. That was make-up over make-up.

I don't think it's a great leap to go from civil unions to gay marriage - I may be in the minority in believing that.

I didn't have a great childhood, and neither did Debbie, my wife, so we both try to give the kids not only the material things we never had but also the hugs and the love.
