I am almost famous in China, because I have that Broadway cachet.

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.

My new play 'Chinglish,' which will go to Broadway, is about a white American businessman who goes to a provincial capital in China, hoping to make a deal there. It's bilingual. And it's about trying to communicate across language and cultural barriers.

I am famous because I am an African American jazz artist.

If I am against the condition of the world, it is not because I am a moralist - it is because I want to laugh more.

All that I am, I am because of my mind.
