I am the last of the Mohicans, the creme de la creme of cabaret.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never knew I was an artist until I did 'Last of the Mohicans'.
If I could live in a cabaret, I would. If I could live in 'Moulin Rouge,' I would.
I've been in a New York City-based cabaret for the past seven years called The Citizens Band. It's possibly one of the most brilliant things I've ever been involved with.
Darling, when you're as old as I am, you cherish the very few musicals that have come your way that you know are great classics. You become their guardian.
I've always been a cabaret-vaudeville artist - an hourlong cabaret and a floor show in a hotel - somebody like that. That's my main forte.
Some have called we rock and roll performers who never retire 'troubadours.' I enjoy this misnomer immensely. While there are many differences between me and my distant predecessors in L'Occitane, I do believe there is a lineage that connects us of the last 70 years with those romantic singers of the High Middle Ages.
It's true that I'm not known as a crooner or balladeer. I'm known for a more crusading or quixotic temperament.
In my next lifetime, I want to come back as a composer.
I'm an amalgam of the 19th-century romantics and the beat poets.
I don't think I was considered to be a cabaret singer because I didn't have patter that was written.
