I heard I was the self-proclaimed White Mamba, which I can say I have never self-proclaimed myself anything.
When I moved to the East Village in the late seventies, I wanted to be a street performer, so I practiced daily. I never did work up the skills or the courage to perform on the street, though.
I've never been comfortable as a lead performer, and I never wanted to be a singer, particularly.
I never wanted to be a performer, I never wanted to be Yo Yo Honey Singh, the rock star.
I've never proclaimed myself to be a shooter. But I am definitely a scorer.
I always wanted to be a lawyer,but I certainly never wanted to be a trapeze performer.
I never wanted to be a performer, that was not one of my goals. I wanted to be a musician and that was that.
I always felt of myself as a composer, performer, improviser. I've never called myself a jazz man. I make art.
I never wanted to be a performer. I suppose I was precocious, really.
I told myself I never wanted to rent again. Even though it's a battle, I'm lucky cause I'm living in a cheaper part of the country. I just told myself I'm never going to do this again. I'm never gonna work, I'm never going to pay somebody rent again. I'm never going to sign another lease at least.
I never wanted to be famous, I just wanted to be creative for my job, I suppose, and perform.
I never wanted to write on a staff. I wanted to perform my work.
I never thought of myself as a performer or songwriter or singer.
I always wanted to be a teacher or wanted to do something with food. But modeling, I just never thought I could do it myself, really, ever. I still have trouble calling myself a model. I just never thought I was tall enough or skinny enough.
I've always called myself a writer/performer, not an actor because I basically write what I perform.
I'd never done nudity in a movie; I've never sort of condoned it for myself, but David Lynch wanted it, and I was completely comfortable with it because that love story was so protected. There's never a moment where you feel anything is exploited.
