“I didn't see any Broadway till I was in my late twenties.” — Alice Ripley Quote

I didn't see any Broadway till I was in my late twenties.

The road's a tough life, but I said 'yes,' because as a kid growing up in Ohio, I never had a chance to see a Tony-winning actress in a role she won the Tony for.

The selections on 'Daily Practice' are all what I consider standard rock songs that have been absolutely essential to keeping me alive.

I take a lot of naps.

I did grow up in a small town. I grew up in a lot of different places. But I consider my home to be Cleveland.

I do Broadway because I refuse to succumb to the stereotypical things that Hollywood does to a performer.

From 1985 to 1994, I lived in Manhattan in a big old loft right off Times Square. I could walk to work, which was in a couple of Broadway theaters, to Howard Stern's studio, and to 30 Rock for 'Letterman' and 'SNL.' Even in New York, walking to work is homey and folksy, like living in a small town.

A professional music career goes in starts and stops. Around 2000 I was doing a Broadway show and that was some real good energy.

I never wanted to just be on Broadway, I wanted to be Simba.
