I went to see 'Kinky Boots' to see my friend Billy Porter in his groundbreaking performance. But while backstage, I was hoping for a chance to meet this young, dynamic performer Annaleigh Ashford. Her comic timing was brilliant. And she is obviously a triple threat.

As singers, we're always taught to sing forward and place everything in the front of our resonating chambers. Donna Summer always sang in that space and had it naturally. Her muscle memory, the way she was built - she was a natural singer.

That's capital L, small a - no space! - capital C, small h, a, n, z, e.

I'm an actress: I'm used to being independent, doing for myself.

There I was as a kid: a closeted homosexual who wants to be an actress. I had no choice! Wanting to act was something I was wired with when I was born. I never thought I would have success or celebrity, although I did want that. But what I wanted more than anything was to work.

I hate the idea of success robbing you of your private life.

One of the things I realized... is how few success stories there are in websites or products or businesses that exist primarily for an altruistic purpose.

I think all 32 teams have the goal of winning a championship, that goes without saying.
