I missed New York. Every break I had from the series, I'd fly back to the East Coast just to get back onstage.

It's a blessing as an artist to express myself - whether that be via dance, via song or via speech - in so many different ways.

Creating a role is an interesting thing - each show or each situation is different.

Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?

People ask me how I am such a good heel, but I don't know; I just try to be me and go and do what I need to do to get the job done on any show that I am on and achieve the work that is set up in front of me.

I really do care what people think, and I revolved my whole career and all the twenty five years with Dream Theater... I ran that band and made decisions based on caring what the fans thought and wanted.

If you can have a career as a footballer for 13 years then you're really lucky, but there will probably be plenty of supporters up and down the country saying that I wasn't a top player, to put it kindly. That's for sure.

My history in show business spans over a quarter of a century, and I have seen many people in the industry struggle with coming out, only to find much more success after they finally did.
