If one thing that bothers me about acting, it's that there's no clear-cut number one. The closest you can get is winning an Academy Award, and I'm going to work on that if it takes me the next 50 years. To my peers, it will mean that I'm the best!

Often you get wonderful singers who maybe aren't as strong as actors, or you get wonderful actors who can't sing very well.

Trying to give an individual a voice has always kind of been my mission in my life. As an actor, I've always seen that was something that needed to be done. You need to find that voice inside of you so that you can stand up and be who you really are.

I try to get the best performance an actor can give.

I don't have the best body in the world, but I know for a fact that I have a really good voice.

My strength as an actor is in the theater - I know that about myself. Some actors get onstage and vanish, but I'm much better there than I am on screen.

I love any kind of acting, so if I could focus on becoming the best actor I can strictly on my voice, I would love that.

The best thing an actor can bring to a role is himself - that's no secret.

There's the most resistance to an actor singing. It's like I'm being disloyal to my industry.
