High-pitched falsetto singing voice

Big fan of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman.

He is the son of Miriam Irene (Moskowitz) and Meyer Mael. His family were Jewish emigrants from Poland, Austria, and Russia.

I like to go to the races at Hollywood Park, but I don't usually win with the horses, so afterward I go to Auntie Em's and drown my sorrows in a red velvet cupcake. It never fails me.

I don't tend to look at myself through the rear-view mirror where dates are concerned. I have blinders on the past and try to look forward.

I don't like talking about myself; I like to let the music be the spokesperson for me. So doing a memoir and all that chronological 'and then this happened and then blah blah' doesn't appeal to me that much. I think there's more mystique in what you don't know about.
