My family moved to Buffalo, New York in 1940 where I was raised.
The four places I've called home in my life have been Lahore, London, New York and California. And I have a very strong tie to each one of those four places.
When I'm in New York, I just want to walk down the street and feel this thing, like I'm in a movie.
I was raised by a strong mother and I never felt like I had to be a role, you know, I was just me, who I am.
I like California a lot more than New York these days.
I was raised never to carp about things and never to moan, because in vaudeville, which is my background, you just got on with it through all kinds of adversities.
One of the stranger things about me is that I was raised as an Orthodox Jew. I went to a yeshiva until I was thirteen years old and spoke fluent Hebrew.
I was born in L.A., then we moved to Hawaii, then we moved to New York, then we moved to Baltimore, then we moved to California, then we moved to Hawaii, then we moved to Texas, then we moved to Hawaii, then we moved to California. This was before I was 17.
I enjoy being in New York. I have so many fans here that sing all my songs from start to finish.
