I would love to have a varied career, like Hugh Jackman. He started in musical theater, then established himself in film, but he still does a lot of stage work. And he does it all beautifully.

It's important to be able to keep things fresh, no matter what age you are, or how many years you've been in the industry.

I just sing the songs that people don't expect you to sing, because I just love having fun at karaoke and I'm always a bit nervous to sing something serious.

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

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
