Grobanite Makes Me Think Of A Type

I Wanted To Focus On Songs That I Was Inspired By Growing Up. I Love So Many Of Them From The Last 100 Years, But I Really Wanted, For My First Step Forward, To Choose Material That Has Inspired Me And Got Me Into The World Of Musical Theater.

When You're Walking In, Basically Like A Kid A Candy Store, To A Project Where There's An Endless Canon Of Material, You Have To Step Back From It As A Self-indulgence. You Have To Look At It Neutrally.

I'm The Depresso Guy On Holidays.

It's Really Tough To Make A Name For Yourself Without Compromising And Without Fitting Yourself Into A Real Specific Mold. When I Made The Choice That I Would Be Involved In Every Aspect Of Music And Not Necessarily Make Music For Radio Or Mtv, I Was Saying, 'ok, This Is Me. You Decide Who It Is.'

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.
