Ariana is anything but subtle.

I like singing Bruce Springsteen.

I love being back on the East Coast.

My favorite vacation destination is Hawaii.

I have at least four Starbucks drinks a day.

Be true to yourself, no matter what that is.

I was in love with Ryan Phillippe. I mean, like, who wasn't?

Broadway performers are the best-trained people on the planet.

My first audition ever was for 'Bye Bye Birdie' in fifth grade.

I know all the words to Billy Joel's 'We Didn't Start the Fire.'

I have a major weakness for Oreo cookies and David Yurman jewelry.

There's nothing like the spontaneity of making something work on stage.

I want people to be obsessed with Broadway and theatre as much as I am.

David Bowie has always been my vocal inspiration ever since I was a child.

There's a lot of audience participation in 'Rock of Ages' and 'Rocky Horror.'

Muhlenberg is the school that made me and shaped me into the actor I am today.

Madonna is my absolute queen - as a performer, there's no one better than her.

I love breaking the fourth wall, and being given permission to play with the audience!

Glam rock always has a story to tell and has that powerful voice with a little hint of libretto.

I am emoji-heavy as hell. I'd use the same emoji 140 times just to communicate how excited I am.

It's difficult to market and promote a new show that no one has heard of with a not unique title.

I was Boots The Monkey in 'Dora The Explorer Live Dora's Pirate Adventure,' and it was the greatest!

Every day of my life, I wish I was on Broadway. It's my favorite place. It's my heart; it's my soul.

I try very hard to live my life in an exemplary way, which is, you know, 'Shine bright like Frankie.'

I can pretty much name and rattle off the genus and species of all the bugs you see in everyday life.

The best part of social media is that you can reach a lot of people. But that's also the worst part of social media.

I love my Justin Bieber. He's, like, my favorite person of all time, so I'm always looking through his social media posts.

I'm really embracing that very out, very loud, very free persona that I am now but that I didn't get to be in high school.

My mom. My grandma, my grandfather. We have a very strong, strong line of amazing people in the family. Very strong women.

Opening presents at midnight on Christmas Eve - midnight! As soon as it turns to Christmas Day, we're opening those gifts.

No one wants to follow someone fake or boring. Being accessible on social media, being honest, and having fun with it is key.

'Ray of Light' changed my life. The whole album, but that song specifically, was just so life-changing and incredible for me.

The party life that had once given me so much confidence and comfort had turned into a nightmare where I never felt more alone.

I showed my nana, who lives in Delray, my writeup in the 'New York Times,' and she said, 'When will you be in the 'Sun Sentinel?'

You don't have to post a picture with every single person at the party. Just get a few, maybe post one picture with eight people.

I am a new man, and the man you see before you is the one I was always meant to be. This decision to be sober is a lifetime decision.

I have the most incredible fans, and they have given me so many wonderful gifts. My apartment is decorated almost entirely with fan art.

Women who have been with man after man after man after man choose to become a lesbian later in life. Gay men, it doesn't work so much that way.

I love working in TV. And I love the adrenaline of hosting things like 'Access Hollywood' with, like, zero preparation and just going straight on.

I love Muhlenberg. I'm an academic. I needed a small school with incredible programs and found that here. I learned so much and grew so much in four years.

I basically raised her. Ariana and I are 10 years apart, and she grew up with a really gay brother who just loves her unconditionally, and it's reciprocated.

I got the first Nintendo system, and me and my mother would stay up and play it together for hours and hours and hours - mainly Super Mario Brothers and Mario Kart!

Anything that has a dragon, a wand, pixie dust, fairies, magic, any of that, I love it. I'm obsessed with it, I will read it, I will watch it, I will commit it to memory.

I think operating in a mode of fear, and operating from a mode of fear, is not going to get us anywhere, as a people, or me, as a person. So I don't operate from that place.

Having this message of sobriety and recovery to blast out into the world is also very powerful and kind of the reason why I'm on this planet, I think; it's one of my purposes.

My mother is a rock. She's my rock, she's Ariana's rock, and she has been a huge example of how to get through some difficult situations with strength, dignity, her head held high.

I was pre-med in college, and so since a lot of people take a year off before they go to med school, I decided to take the time to pursue theater - six months later, I was on Broadway.

I have to say, Franz in 'Rock of Ages,' I had three final callbacks for that role before I booked it - it was something that I'd dreamed of. I wanted to play that role. I love that show.

OMG, I have my 'Mamma Mia!' playbill framed in my bedroom. It was magical! I totally cried... a lot! I remember collecting playbills my entire life, and then to be in one... I have no words.

I'm obsessed with Maggie Smith - the way that she can be the most brilliant actress in every single situation and then do Harry Potter, and still make me cry while she's casting spells with a wand?
