“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.
