I didn't want to look like anyone else - like Janis Joplin or Grace Slick. That's why I never went to any of the big designers.
I don't think I sound like Janis Joplin. I'm a woman with a raspy voice.
People have a certain perfection about them, no matter who they are. Like when Janis Joplin sang. Gorgeous!
I remember my mom dressed like Janis Joplin.
I like learning. I've been studying Japanese for years now, but it's really hard.
My comedy isn't clean; it's just friendly. So I get asked to do a lot of clean shows. It's like, 'Oh, I have a clean vibe, but I say gross, weird stuff.' It's just, it's very gentle the way I say it. It's not upsetting or jarring to people, because I'm not very aggressive.
My daughter's first sentence was, 'Dada no hair.' And I was, like, 'No Jasmine, Dada does have hair, Dada just shaves his head.'
My favourite artist is Beyonce. I also like Jasmine Sullivan.
Sometimes I sneak out into the streets alone, like Princess Jasmine in 'Aladdin.'
Because of the changes in the Padres team I played with last year, I felt like a veteran recently when I worked out with Jason Kendall and he told me he's liked listening to my records since he was a kid!
Jason Aldean is actually probably a really good rapper. He sounds like it to me.
I try to penetrate the lane like Steve Nash, pass like Jason Kidd, and handle the ball like Allen Iverson. Remember, I said 'try to'.
For those who don't like Dave Letterman, there's Jay Leno; and for those who like neither, there's Craig Ferguson; and if you're still feeling undertained, there's George Lopez and Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel and - let's see, did we leave out a Jimmy?
I like Rick Ross as a person. I like Jay-Z and Kanye West as people. But I hate the companies that they record for.
I've got wide tastes, but I don't like jazz.
It was liberating to do comedy. It felt like playing in a jazz band.
I used to hang out a lot in jazz clubs, and the groups took to a kid like me who wasn't afraid to get up and sing with a jazz band. Then I started to hang out in rock clubs and learned to carry off different styles.
I got my first set of drums when I was around 3. I went from band to marching band to Latin jazz band - it's like riding a bike.
I was in every band class I could get in, like after school jazz band and marching band, and that's where I really learned to read music from elementary all the way through junior high and high school.
My first love of jazz came from joining the Chilliwack Middle School band - it was like an 18-piece jazz band, and I wanted to join just because the older kids looked like they were having so much fun.
