“I’ve been very fortunate in my collaborators throughout my career.”

I know when I’m bad, I know when I’m good, and I know when I’m everything in between.

I made jokes about kissing Murphy Brown. But if that’s what cost me my job, my wife will probably say, “Hey asshole, I told you so”.

One of the things that’s great about doing a show over and over again… is that you have to find ways to make it spontaneous, as though everything is happening for the first time… to continue to mine the material and find new things.

When you’re a dancer who is injured, you are at the bottom of the food chain. We are so replaceable.

I’ve been on stage since I was 7. That’s where I’d rather be than anywhere else. Just because you can do a bunch of things doesn’t mean you are a bunch of things.

I’ve seen some very beautiful drag queens.

People make snap judgments about me that are frequently misguided.

I don’t have any delusions of grandeur or delusions of failure. In terms of my work, I’ve got a pretty cold honest eye.

There was one person [opening] the door with a butter knife and another person kicking the door in so I could get a photo. He’s decapitated, but totally nude. And he’s really well-endowed.

Part of the success of the show is that the audience sees themselves in the characters, becomes the characters. The more they inhabit the characters, the more they see.

Kirstie [Alley] saved me, in a way. [At the time], I had a terrible marriage, and I stayed at her house.

I loved Jay Thomas as Eddie LeBec. But there was a point where they [thought] maybe we would live together, and I didn’t like the idea of Carla being with somebody because that would make you feel like [you’re] not part of the people in the bar.

I don’t need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career.

Having an enviable career is one thing. Being a happy person is another

The things Elvis has done during his career and the things he has contributed and created are really something very important to the music business.

I had a great tennis career. I have no regrets. But to find peace with yourself, and to finally be with your family – I’m probably the happiest guy in the world.

I always wanted to have a career that would keep me at home in New York so I can work in the theater all the time and be involved in the creative process from the ground up.

Still, it’s tough trying to combine my acting career with my college career.
