A Lot Of People Don't

All Of The Advice That I Give, I'm Not An Expert By Any Means, But It's Just My Opinion. So If Somebody Likes Me Or Likes Y Style Or My Career, I Think They Should Have That Feeling.

When I Was A Little Kid I Thought I Would Grow Up To Be Black And Sing Jazz In Nightclubs.

I Grew Up In A Home Filled With Music And Had An Early Appreciation Of Jazz Since My Dad Was A Jazz Musician. Beginning At Around Age Three I Started Singing With His Band And Jazz Music Has Continued To Be One Of My Three Passions Along With Acting And Writing. I Like To Say Jazz Music Is My Musical Equivalent Of Comfort Food. It's Always Where I Go Back To When I Want To Feel Grounded.

I Write In Bed, Too. I Find It Very Comforting. I Want To Sort Of, Like, Crawl In A Fetal Position If I Have To.

It's The Universal Feeling That We All Are Alone - That We're All Different. I Think The Movie's One Resounding Theme Is That Everybody Feels The Same, And We're All Alone Together. Some People Come Up To Me On The Street And Thank Me For Helping Them Get Through Their Teen Years.
