I love what I'm doing. It's my life. When it's time to go, I'll probably be fighting to get out of the casket. I'll be yelling at the priest instead of a referee.
I never met anybody in my life who says, I want to be a critic. People want to be a fireman, poet, novelist.
I've dated people who I thought were going to be a big deal in my life, and I've also spent long periods by myself.
I don't look back. I don't live my life in the rear-view mirror because, if you do, you're bound to end up wrapped around a pole somewhere.
I am very lucky, because for the most part people are very nice to me, and I am still able to go about my life and ride the subway and all that.
I am willing to make any part of my life public, if it will help others.
I feel like my life has been a series of miracles. I was in every sense a lost cause.
Money gives you the power to do whatever you want to do. I like the idea of being in complete control of my life.
People that were in my life for a long time turned sinister and tried to control me, and all kinds of weird stuff happened. But there was no conscience involved; that threw me more than anything.
Everyone wants to get into soundtracks. Everyone wants to do songs here and there. But, I think they want it for different reasons. I think I'm just tumbling through my life, enjoying playing with everybody.
I have a personal ambition to live my life honestly and honor the true love that I've had and also the people I've had around me.
The first years of my life were spent in a roller disco in the early '80s called Flipper's. It was a real riotous, incredible time. I am slightly obsessed with the place.
How can they say my life is not a success? Have I not for more than sixty years got enough to eat and escaped being eaten?
If I could figure out a way to earn a living while traveling for the rest of my life, well, I think that'd be a dream come true.
I was always active as a kid. I was a professional figure skater for many years and I was a dancer, so it's just been part of my life, and I think that creates a certain body type.
Italy was a surprise in my life. I went there just to make money and then go back to Israel and study psychology. The arts wasn't something I grew up with or thought I could be part of.
Inside me I'm Ghanaian, and I'm proud to be African. But of course I'm Italian. I was born in Italy. I've never been to Africa in my life, but I will go one day.
There was a moment there when it was getting really bad and everyone was being let go. I was, like, 'Can I get fired, please? Can I move on with my life?
I'm in the very fortunate position as a young actor to not have to take the first job that comes along. I'm not motivated by money at this stage in my life, I'm motivated by work.
I did everything. I ran my life exactly as I wanted to, all the time. I never listened to anybody. I'm pig-headed.
I think one of the most humiliating moments of my life was putting on spandex, personally. It's always nice when four women pull you into spandex when you're in jockey shorts. Yeah.
