My mother - the Irish side of the family - was very musical. My mother was a singer; there was music around the house all the time.

I didn't have to do paper routes. I'd sing for 5 bucks a crack at weddings and church functions; I'd have four or five on some Saturdays.

I was a boy soprano. I had a natural kind of voice and then trained it after my voice changed.

I was an actor for over a year before I ever saw a play.

My mother was a singer, and both of her sisters were singers. There was always music around.

Although it's been said many times, many ways...Merry Christmas to you!

The great mystery of life is the length of it.

I had to learn how to modulate my performances and interpretations of these roles in auditions for the camera.
