I've considered having my nose fixed. But I didn't trust anyone enough. If I could do it myself with a mirror.

I was raised on the streets, in hot, steamy Brooklyn, with stifled air.

I believe in love and lust and sex and romance. I don't want everything to add up to some perfect equation. I want mess and chaos. I want someone to go crazy out of his mind for me. I want to feel passion and heat and sweat and madness. I want valenties and cupids and all of that crap. I want it all.

Thank God there were a couple of people in my life who said, "Go on, go on - you can do it!

Marlon Brando. The finest actor who ever lived. He was my idol when I was 13. He's done enough work to last two lifetimes. Everything I do, I think: Can Brando play this with me?

It's very often the artist who gives a voice to the voiceless by speaking up when no one else will.

I don't enjoy public performances and being up on a stage. I don't enjoy the glamour. Like tonight, I am up on stage and my feet hurt.
