My bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and my talent are my title.

At home I'm just a guy who has interests that extend far beyond music.

We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we've grown and are learning to accommodate each others' differences.

Being me is no different than being most anyone else, I guess.

I had spent five years not earning a penny, getting rejected. Thank God I had a husband who was supportive and encouraging. But I still said to myself, 'If the Everleighs doesn't sell, I'm finished with writing forever.' I was going to get an office job.

I've had a fantastic career playing great parts. In many ways, the colour of my skin has been an asset because I've been asked to play certain roles as a result. I don't apologise for playing them anymore than Robert de Niro is sorry for playing American-Italians.

We must give young people and others who cannot find a job a direct and clear incentive to create one for themselves by starting a business.

I don't think I would have had much of a career if I didn't have my son.
