Safety's Just Danger, Out Of Place.

I Was Raised In The Environment Where It Really Wasn't About Sittin' Around Dreaming All The Time, It Was About Practicing And Workin' Really Hard And If A Dream Ever Came To You, You'd Be Prepared For That Opportunity.

My Dad Was The District Attorney Of New Orleans For About 30 Years. And When He Opened His Campaign Headquarters Back In The Early '70s, When I Was 5 Years Old, My Mother Wanted Me To Play The National Anthem. And They Got An Upright Piano On The Back Of A Flatbed Truck And I Played It.

Singers, Like Frank Sinatra And Myself, We Interpret The Songs That We Like. Not Unlike A Shakespearean Actor That Goes Back To The Greatest Words Ever Written, We Go Back To The Greatest Songs And Bring About My Interpretation Of Them.

When I'm Acting, I'm In A Different Place, Singing Is The Last Thing On My Mind, And When I'm On Stage, There's No Acting At All Involved, Not Even Presentation, It's Just Who I Am.
