There's not a day that I don't work on vocals, have vocal coaches, go to acting classes, read books.
I'm a parent, especially when you've had the intense parenting the way I had. It's all in the bank. It's all in the great experience bank. Those are your secrets. That's the stuff that makes your work rich, that's what you dip into.
Nothing gives me quite so much joy as when people tell me they've had their pets spayed or neutered.
