I'm the depresso guy on holidays.

In ballet class, I felt like Ralph Wiggum.

I'd give away my soul To hold you once again

I was a shy kid. I was awkward. I was picked on.

Don't give up. It's just the weight of the world.

I like my hair long because I have really big ears.

I've been offered private planes, and I'm like, 'No!'

Grobanite makes me think of a type of harmless crustacean.

I wore out the Broadway 'Tommy' recording. I just loved it.

I first started listening to Sondheim's work when I was a kid.

Comedy and music are so similar because it's all about timing.

Maybe the gruffness and anger can be done with a purity of sound.

I definitely break out karaoke when my friends have birthday parties.

I believe That angels breathe And that love will live on and never leave

Let me fall. Let me climb. There's a moment where fear and dream must collide.

If there is one thing that is constant in this world, it is the power of music.

There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva.

I would never put any growl on my voice in concert - it's not the kind of music I sing.

Don't try to be like me. Try to be like yourself. Try to be very good at being yourself.

I did not practice hours a day for eighteen years to have my success attributed to a myth.

Music is what I always turn to when I'm feeling a certain way. It's my reason for everything.

No matter who we are, no matter what our circumstances, our feelings and emotions are universal.

Art matters because it is the one true great connector in a world that seems to be very unconnected.

I was the boy who liked to sing his own songs at talent shows, and I was suddenly officially uncool.

I don't have a circus around me, and that's a choice. I like to be on Planet Earth as much as possible.

All of the things an arts education gives a young person enhance leadership skills and help raise grades.

My biggest blast-off hit was "You Raise Me Up." If you ever have a wedding or a funeral, it's a good pick.

My biggest blast-off hit was 'You Raise Me Up.' If you ever have a wedding or a funeral, it's a good pick.

I grew up in Los Angeles, and my first musical theatre experiences were at the Music Center in downtown L.A.

When I feel confused or depressed, I remember back to junior high and I silently repeat, 'This, too, shall pass.'

Music is so 100 percent for me that the idea of giving that up in any way, shape, or form would be terrifying to me.

I get terrible butterflies. Before I go onstage, I'll have to freak out for five minutes. I scream. It seems to help!

I still like to keep all the love songs for the Grobanites, I like to make sure that they know those are just for them.

There is a certain... chivalry to the style of singing I normally do. Part of the fun for me will be to leave that at the door.

The best way for me to teach myself an instrument is to just jam on it, and sound awful sometimes, and sound great other times.

I've been aware of my gay fans since album one. There has been such great support from that community and it has gone both ways.

I got to play a real D-bag lawyer, and comb my hair really awfully and kiss Emma Stone, so it was a really wonderful day on set.

As a new artist there's always outside influences trying to tell you how to make a song better for radio and how to do your hair.

The honest-to-goodness answer is that Twitter tells me everything, and I have calluses on my fingers from all the mouse-clicking.

When it comes to the acting stuff, I like to show up for a couple days and kind of be outrageous and silly, and go back to my day job.

Even with our differences There is a place we're all connected Each of us can find each other's light, There's so much to be thankful for.

Everybody wants to experiment, wants to explore. You should hear me at karaoke. I can sing anything you throw at me. I can do a good Dave Grohl.

I know that life is a journey I must accept and that pain and confusion are temporary. I know that if I follow my heart, it will lead me where I belong.

There are so many incredible causes, no one better than the other. There are lots of organizations that need our help and lots of ways we need to help one another.

I think some industries are so far behind the rest of humanity, in the way they see characters and cast shows. Once those walls get broken down, it changes everything.

It wasn't that I got pinned against my locker, but I was intensely aware that the things I valued weren't shared by anyone. Girls didn't like me, and I had few friends.

I try to have a real close connection with my fans. That's extremely important. They are the ones that have been there from the beginning and proved everyone else wrong.

Every day I lugged my backpack through the halls, waiting for the final bell. Then I'd race home and hole up in my room, playing the drums and the piano, composing music.

I've been fascinated by music for as long as I can remember. I was the kid on the playground in the third grade who would tell other kids about Paul Simon or Depeche Mode.

I hate birthdays. It's so funny, people always come up to me, "Hey! It's my birthday!" But when it's my birthday, I don't want to talk about it, I don't wanna tell anybody.
