Everything is a piece of me, a moment of my life.
Hearing the blues changed my life.
Broadway is really my life.
My life is not perfect.
These hands elate my life, choke me, broil my bosom, spank me, give fire to my words, my words, mother, my heart beats in my words.
My heroes always are mostly my parents - my father especially, and my mom, who's passed on already. My dad is a very strong man, and by him being educated, and a principal and school superintendent over 37 years, he plays such a big role in my life.
You could eat sushi off my bookshelf. My cleaning regime is like a battleground. I'm Genghis Khan and my cleaning products are my Mongolian army and I take no prisoners. The rest of my life is an experiment in chaos so I like to keep my flat neat.
Like many dads I know, I've long been motivated in all aspects of my life by my love for my children - and my desire to make the world better a better place for them, my grandchildren and my great-grandchildren.
None of my own experiences ever finds its way into my work. However, the stages of my life - motherhood, middle age, etc. - often influence my subject matter.
I was captured by music at a really early age. I was really captured by it. Everything about it. It was my mother… It was my father… It was my play thing. It was my toy. It was the best thing in my life.
Losing my mom at such a young age had a profound effect on my life.
Emotions don’t interfere in my acting, nor in my life.
My life motto is 'Do my best, so that I can't blame myself for anything.'
I write from my life, my experience. I'm selfish that way.
My family's the most important thing in my life.
My life in Brooklyn was in constant danger because of my bad health.
My parents' divorce made an important change in my life. It affected me.
My dad was the biggest influence on my life because he was never boring.
Catholicism played such a huge part in my life, I would not have survived without my faith.
In my life, I don't need to have my face plastered everywhere. It's not really something I want.
My mom saved my life. She gave me mouth-to-mouth more than once.
