Never have one kid in the room with you, and avoid situations that would look suspect to a passerby.
As a little kid, I was very shy.
When I was a little bitty kid, my aunt showed me how to play a little boogie. It took me years. I had to play the left-hand part with two hands, because my hands was so little. Then as I grew up and I learned how to play the left-hand part with one hand, she showed me how to play the right-hand part, and et cetera. My Uncle Joe showed me how to play a little bit different boogie stuff. I had people in my family that was professional musicians, but I just wasn't interested in what they did. I wasn't very open-minded to a lot of music that I'd be more open to today.
Everything I do is completely original-I made it up when I was a kid.
When I was a kid at first I wanted to own a candy shop. I guess every kid wants to - we just want to have access - free access.
My ex-husband and I, even though we're not together, we are 100 percent together in raising our kid. We communicate a lot and where I drop the ball and need him to pick it up or vice versa, he's there.
The police can go to downtown Harlem and pick up a kid with a joint in the streets. But they can't go into the elegant apartments and get a stockbroker who's sniffing cocaine.
I was a hip kid. When I saw Bambi it was the midnight show.
When you're a kid, you just have no concept of anything other than what you're doing.
Then again, I think about high school every day and I think about being a little kid every day too.
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Every song is like a kid. How can you have that many kids and have a favorite? Which one do I like to hang most with?
I figured out I wanted to tell stories in college. I'm an only child who moved around a lot growing up, and I really feel like it prepared me to be a storyteller - to make up stories and pretend to be every hero from every movie and TV show as a kid. So it was a natural progression.
However I will never forget what Marion [Zimmer Bradley] did for me by accepting that first story from a stupid enthusiastic kid.
I was so anxious to grow up, and now I'm wishing I was still a kid.
Richard Lloyd of Television is one of my favorite guitarists. His mentor was Jimi Hendrix when he was just 14. Jimi was always pounding everything he knew into that kid.
As a kid, I played a lot of one-on-none.
I remember when I was a kid looking at different types of film and really examining the grains of them. I remember even looking at the ink streaks.
I am always playing hard trying to win. Just knowing that at one time I was once that kid that looked up to NBA players and NFL players. Today these kids look up me.
When I was a little kid, I loved horror films. I always liked being scared.
