I am the byproduct of an Ellis Island orgy, basically. I'm everything. I've got quite a mixture in me. I know a lot of it and I don't know some of it. I'm pretty mixed up, but mostly Russian and Irish.

I live in a bus and go from place to place and sometimes feel very detached from what's going on

I can do a gig without an instrument

Sometimes the only way is jumping; hope you’re not afraid of heights.

Women are the first to jump on what is fashionable.

I think listening to real classic soul material made me learn how to feel music that's sung

The early Billy Joel stuff I fell in love with, like Glass Houses, is a real rock record.
