Interviews don't go to the core of my life. Everybody knows my life - it's an open book.
I can't think of my life without Donna Reed. She has been such an enormous influence on my life.
I've always lived my life fearlessly, and what I want to do with my life, I do.
I've never boxed in my life, never been in a military base in my life, never grew up with anyone in the military.
I'm just living my life, and I'm not gonna live my life for other people.
I listen to a lot of alternative types of music: I listen to a lot of Chinese music, I listen to a lot of Asian music. It might surprise you, but I listen to a lot of Arabic music. And I don't care - music is music.
My mother - who's from Iowa - owns and runs her own day-care centre, while my father's a developer. And my musical influences, I think, came from my father's side of the family.
I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart, the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind.
It's not like I'm hanging out at shopping malls or going to celebrity golf tournaments. I'm so in my own little world. I got my dog, my music, my brother, a couple of friends.
I don't understand why the press is so interested in speculating about my appearance, anyway. What does my face have to do with my music or my dancing?
What I took back, because of my exposure to the Jewish music of the 30s and the 40s in my upbringing with my father, was that kind of theatrical songwriting. It was always a part of my character. This desire to make people laugh.
Life is a present; life is a miracle. Life is a song divine. When you touch my heart, hold my soul. Oh my pure valentine.
For me, since I have a life wish, not a death wish, for me, I was not gambling my life. I was doing something much more beautiful. I was carrying my life across.
Fame is part of me and my life as an actor. I enjoy the creative aspects of my life as an actor. I enjoy directing and acting as well. But the bottom line for me is not prestige and power. It's about having an exciting, creative life.
My skills are musical, not lyrical.
The roots of Cuban music are in my head.
My heart and soul is still music.
I want my music to do the explaining.
Swing is my favorite kind of music.
My music is fun, kind of cheeky.
Music is like my security blanket.
