I came from the Bronx and a certain background. I worked really hard. I kept my focus on the right things.

My parents wanted me to be a lawyer. But I don't think I would have been very happy. I'd be in front of the jury singing.

I'm a hopeless romantic and passionate person when it comes to love.

You mirror what the world mirrors to you.

I look to the women who epitomize old Hollywood glamour, like Rita Hayworth. She had a way of making sophisticated clothes look sexy without ever seeming sleazy or cheap.

I think the best partner you can have is someone who makes you want to be the best form of yourself.

I had such a reputation, and it was sad because I felt like it so didn't represent who I really was.
