Steve Kazee

As a straight man, I love going to gay bars. People at gay bars just love to dance.

Drag shows are one of my favorite things in the world.

When you're on set with Ed Asner or Melissa Peterman, you start to sort of exist in a different realm sometimes. You try not to let that get in your head, and you try not to let that overtake you.

At my high school, it was the first time they had TV monitors up, and before class would start, they would have CMT and the music videos playing.

For me, I was a musician long before I was an actor.

When my friends and I grew up, we had 'Full House,' 'Growing Pains' and 'Roseanne.' These sitcoms were about something, about real people in a sense. They sort of super-sized real life where things aren't necessarily exactly how you go through them in daily life, but you can relate to something, and you can pull something out of it.

I'm a person who's very interested in science and the universe and quantum physics and astrophysics.

What would George Clooney do? That's one of my favourites. He is one of my favourite actors and one of my favourite human beings. I don't know if I have a serious life philosophy.

Nobody's ever really dead on 'Game of Thrones.'

I've got to say I'm a Jon Snow guy for sure.

I just always wanted to write my own album and play my own music.

I don't write happy songs.

No one ever tells you what the grieving process is going to be like. The process of losing a parent or ending a show or vocal injuries - they all bring on their own special breed of dismay... You just have to ride the wave. You don't have any other choice.

I'm dying to do a Sam Shepard play. 'Curse of the Starving Class,' 'Buried Child,' 'True West,' 'Cowboy Mouth,' 'Fool for Love' - I'll do any of them.

There's never been a question of not being a part of this business or not being a part of this industry - I love it - it's in my blood; it's always been in my blood. It's just a part of who I am.

You have to have a life. And life has to go on when your voice shuts down on you and you have to take a break from what you're doing for a career.

I'm a performer. I'm pretending to be someone else. I'm not putting my own self into the show every night.

For me, Facebook and Twitter was always just a way for me to reach out to the fans of the show, to communicate with my friends who where in the business, and I never felt like I wanted to use it to further my career in some way. I don't know that it has the power or the ability to do that. I just never thought about it in those terms.

I was a disruptive student. I hated my teachers, especially my Spanish teacher. When I went to see the musical 'Matilda,' the horrible Miss Trunchbull brought back all sorts of horrible memories. I'd go into Spanish class, put on headphones, and sing at the top of my lungs until they threw me out.

There was always music in my house when I was a kid. On Saturday mornings, my mother would clean house to 45s blaring out the songs of Neil Diamond, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens, Harry Chapin.
