I think growing up in New York, you see so much at such a young age, there's no bubble to escape into.

When I was growing up in New York City, my father was a taxi driver for a time.

I never set out to be an angel, ... As a kid growing up on the streets of New York, I had a devil of a time getting to where I am now. I understand that juvenile delinquency is not a matter of bad kids or good kids, but rather a matter of bad conditions and good conditions. While it seems to me that Mayor Bloomberg's agenda benefits only the wealthy, I want to reach out across all socio-economic lines.

I grew up in New York, in the Village, and I started going to Stella Adler pretty young. I was 13 or 14 years old. But I was also really shy when I was growing up.

At 55 I think I'm almost ready to grow up a bit - stay young at heart, be open to possibilities and play when you can

When I was growing up, my parents took in foster children. From a young age, I learned that there are a lot of children in need.
