Most awards, you know, they don't give you unless you go and get them - did you know that? Terribly discouraging.

I don't care what you say about me. Just be sure to spell my name wrong.

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

Love comes from the most unexpected places.

Performing, for me, has always been a very inner process.

I think when I was younger, I wanted to be a star, until I became a star, and then it's a lot of work. It's work to be a star. I don't enjoy the stardom part. I only enjoy the creative process.

Why is it men are permitted to be obsessed about their work, but women are only permitted to be obsessed about men?
