What I enjoy is a collaboration. Working with other like-minded people. People who have brilliant minds and big hearts.

It's a crazy - crazy - amount of talent on 'Smash.'

I think it's kind of nice, in this day and age of instant gratification, that you have to wait for something.

A survey carried out across the U.S. between 2004 and 2006 showed that frequent church- or synagogue-goers are more likely to give money to charity.

I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.

I like involved projects. I'm driven by the idea of characters and the song-cycle form is similar to a musical.
