Actually I have been singing since I was a kid.

So I got interested in singing and I have always used my voice. Not professionally as much, but around the living room, the campfire, that kind of thing.

Suddenly Star Wars came out while we were on hiatus, and we looked like the old Buck Rogers series, where they had cigarette smoke blowing out the back of the rocket ship.

I got a series with the WB next year. We start shooting in July. It's going to be called Safe Harbor, and it's an hour show. It's a Spelling show and will follow 7th Heaven.

I directed an episode of Touched by an Angel a couple of months ago, and I will be doing more of that. I just like to keep a bit of variety going; it keeps things interesting.

What I ended up doing was becoming an actor who didn't mind doing other people's words.

Then when I got to Hollywood, the first musical I did was Festival in 1977.

If things are built on a poor foundation, there is absolutely nothing there”.

Don’t aspire to be the next somebody else. Be proud and embrace being the first and only you!

I happen to believe that one of the great crises facing the planet is climate change. Donald Trump happens not to think that climate change is real. Hillary Clinton takes it seriously.

Deliberation is a function of the many; action is the function of one.

I eat the same foods almost every day. I have my favorites like Filipino beef broth, chicken soup with lots and lots of rice.

Harm no person, animal, plant or mineral.

Love is hard to find, but love is one of a kind.

When you hear the music ringin' in your soul And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows And it comes from the backstreet rock & roll and the healing has begun...
