Advice for aspiring actors:
I'm really bad at giving advice. I have to say though, if you're good at something else, do that. This business is so cutthroat and unglamourous, no matter how amazing it looks. I'm not really good at anything else so this is why I do this. I just try and toss aside all of the crap that goes on. I don't mean to sound so bitter, but I just want to be honest about what it's really like. If this is what you really want to do then get ready for soaring highs and devistating lows. And good luck!!

His favourite musical:
My favorite musical...it used to be when I was growing up, Miss Saigon, but I don’t know, I don’t really like it anymore. You know, my favorite musical is Assassins. I really enjoyed the recent production of it at Studio 54. It was originally produced by Playwrights Horizons. It’s a Stephen [Sondheim] musical, it’s all about a bunch of assassins through history.

When asked in an interview whether the widespread rumor that he is John Wayne's grandson is true:
Oh, God! That is just a rumor, but I would have no shame in perpetuating it. I'll be John Wayne's grandson! You know, his real name was Marion Morrison -- and if you look at pictures of him and me, it's quite uncanny.

On fame:
I'm kind of scared of fame in a way, because you lose your life to it. I would be fine just playing good parts. I just want to make a living doing this, and I'm happy that I've been able to so far.

On love at first sight:
don't really believe in that. I believe in lust at first sight.

On his work at Broadway:
Yeah, and I expect to be here for the rest of my life. I love being in front of an audience doing musical theater. I love singing. The only thing I miss is dancing.
