“You have to be aware. Like, I’m not going to do any downhill skiing. It looks like a whole lot of fun, but I’m not going to risk breaking a leg.”

Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?

Certainly the life of a dancer is very difficult. The training is very hard and relentlessly grueling.

That was the aura of Cheers: It was special. It was more than TV; you could get people to guest on the show you couldn’t normally get.

If I’m not in shape, it feels like something is wrong. If I haven’t been able to get to class for a while or I’ve been sick.

I have the greatest picture of Ted [Danson]. That was a big caper,

I really loved Kelsey [Grammer]. It wasn’t a romantic love, but there was something about him. It’s very difficult to see someone you care about having a hard time.

The musical stuff I’d go up for was always funny, sexy, tough-as-nails, heart-of-gold characters.

On the rare occasions I go to the gym, I prefer silence.

When I was born, they put casts on my legs ’cause I had some kind of dysplasia or something. My legs were all messed up.

I don’t see myself as a diva at all.

I don’t see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don’t define them separately, so I can’t say one has helped the other, It’s all the same thing.

More than anything I love being on stage and performing

I’ve never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.

Creating a role is an interesting thing – each show or each situation is different.

Artists need to express.

I am a very complicated person.

Most of the lyrics are over a year old, and it doesn’t feel like it’s about me. Time created a distance.

People have been playing against me below their strength for fifteen years.

Without loving and caring for others, most of us stand little chance of communing with God/the Divine Wisdom, no matter how many years we may spend in silent prayer.

Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science, in all of biology. The key to our being here now is time, 4.54 billion (Earth) years of time.

Remembering that life can be full of surprises is useful in any part of your life.

I found my love when I was 17-years-old and my love is one hundred percent honest. We’ve never had any ugly, rocky things to overcome.

When I came out, when I was 17 years old, it was one of those things where I realized that there was going to be so many obstacles, but being gay doesn’t mean being weak. And being gay doesn’t mean that you are less than anybody else. It’s just who you are.

Honestly, I think I’ve stretched a talent which is so thin it’s almost transparent over a quite unbelievable term of years.
