I wanted to be like my friends. I hung out with girls who had blue eyes and blond hair and I thought, 'I want to look like them!'

Bugsy Siegel. The mobster with the beautiful blue eyes.

I'm fortunate to have blue eyes!

There was a point - when I was a kid - where I said I wanted to be like Luke Skywalker, with blond hair and blue eyes. My mom right there told me to never be ashamed of who I am.

I always worked mostly in Quebec. I never thought of the States, somehow. I don't know - I don't have blue eyes or blond hair. I thought I didn't fit with the stereotype of America.

I don't like labels, but I do have blue eyes and I'm soulful, so what am I going to do?
