All my forebears worked for a living. My grandfather painted portraits. My mother too. My aunt painted seascapes.
I tried to connect my singing voice to my guitar an' my guitar to my singing voice. Like the two was talking to one another.
My mother is a singer, my sisters all sing, my uncles are incredible singers and guitar players, so it's just kind of been like my habitat.
In my early days in Hollywood I tried to be economical. I designed my own clothes, much to my mother's distress.
I was hospitalized five times in 2011 because of my skiing. Fracturing my left shoulder twice, snapping my anterior cruciate ligament once and smashing my scapula into five pieces.
My father grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., with my grandparents. In Norwegian my name is pronounced 'Yoo' but my father used to call me 'Joe.'
My mother, Evelyn, was an actress and singer, and my father, Jack, was an actor. My earliest recollection of my father is being taken to see him in a matinee.
I shared a room with my parents until I was 7, and I lived with my uncles and aunts and my cousins and my grandfather... so the house was always full of people.
I follow many great religions. Body is my temple. Love is my religion. Peace is my religion. Happiness is my religion.
I want my government to do something about my privacy - I don't want to just do it on my own.
I love my career right now, and I won't be with anybody until they make my life as satisfying and as happy as my work makes me.
I have been afraid all my life that I am going to die. All my life it has been stuffed in my imagination.
When I was on the '70s Show,' I had that and I had 'Punk'd' and I had my own production company. That pretty much sealed up all my time.
I spend 80% of my time in my restaurants. Taping my TV shows doesn't take much time, and then they get aired a lot. That's the thing people don't realize.
When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass!
My father is 100% Japanese and came to the United States when he was only 18 years old. My grandmother still resides in Japan, which has allowed me to travel to the roots of my ancestors with my father.

Breathing in, I am aware of my heart. Breathing out, I smile to my heart and know that my heart still functions normally. I feel grateful for my heart.
My main point in this regard was to compete for my country and my people and to receive the support of the entire Cuban society, to carry my flag in whatever competition I was in, the Olympic Games, Pan-American Games.
My father was a GP; my mother was a teacher and amateur actress. My father was a bit of a storyteller, but the acting influence must have been from her - yes, put it down to my mother.
