I don't read music. Not even essentially. Not even nonessentially.

I remember when I was 5 living on Pulaski Street in Brooklyn, the hallway of our building had a brass banister and a great sound, a great echo system. I used to sing in the hallway.

I'm not that ambitious any more. I just like my privacy. I wish I really wasn't talked about at all.

Around people I don't know, I'm totally at a loss.

I arrived in Hollywood without having my nose fixed, my teeth capped, or my name changed. That is very gratifying to me.

I don't read music. Not even essentially. Not even nonessentially.

I worked in a Chinese restaurant.
