My daughter is my biggest achievement. She is a little star and my life has changed so much for the better since she came along.
My acting career began on the streets of New York. When I was a cop, I played many impressive roles, from derelict to a doctor, and my life often depended on my performance.
To make my brothers and my sister laugh was the greatest joy to me in my life. I like people who can make fun of themselves a lot.
I spent an awful lot of my life underestimating myself and, as a result, not exceeding my own expectations.
I am a very lucky man. I am living my life with my hobby as my profession.
I look at being older and gaining wisdom. I've learned to stay fit and healthy. I accept my body, my life, and my circumstances.
I've been writing songs all my life. My mom said I wrote my first song when I was two.
My only goal is to stay focused on my craft and make sure my life is as sharp as it can be to attack any character that is given to me.
I write to be truthful in my songs, which is why I wrote what's painfully truthful about my life in my autobiography.
Even though I pretty much made my own decisions early on, when I was younger I tended to overbook my life.
I really do believe that my style is informed by the fact that I had such issues with my appearance at various times of my life.
I think my biggest focus for myself is learning how to continue to get through the trauma that my father has caused in my life.
I was not addicted to stealing in my youth, nor have ever been; yet such was the confidence of the Negroes in the neighborhood, even at this early period of my life, in my superior judgment, that they would often carry me with them when they were goi...
Music is a second language to my heart.
My musical career was an accident.
Education, for me, has helped me in my music.
The diverse sound of my music makes it a good fit for that demographic.
Learning how to improvise really awakened my interest in music.
My parents were very relaxed about music.
My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.
All my music is very simple in that melody is usually clearly stated.
