My mother was incredibly strict, especially when we moved to New York. Compared with most of the American parents, who seemed so relaxed with their children, my mother was virtually a dictator.

I used to be a serious sneaker addict, but I've moved on a little bit from those days.

I never studied jazz technically; I just know and love the music.

I just had an idea that went right over my head.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.
