When I came out to my parents, I knew that they knew. My father was like, 'Are you sure?' I literally said, 'You took me to see Barbra Streisand at Madison Square Garden.'

I've got to say that I don't see myself as some sort of political type like Alec Baldwin or Barbra Streisand. I don't want to come across like that. I'd be embarrassed if that was the way I came across.

Phil Ramone is very special. Barbra Streisand or Diana Ross... they are the best.

I love Barbra Streisand. Anybody who knows me knows I just love her, love her, love her!

If I were to put on Barbra Streisand and Duke Ellington, one might say the combination isn't good.

Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.
