My first five albums were triple-platinum, and I played a lot of concerts.

There were times when I was a joke, but talent survives.

I had a lot of very religious influences - Christian religious.

I've had an awful lot of good fortune.

All I had done for five years was work 18 hours a day all over the world. I needed to step back and distance myself from it.

I've been able to go on and have a successful career on Broadway and certainly the last five years in Las Vegas have been amazing.
