My ex-wife, she really didn't like the material that I did. And that's something I regret, that I wasn't more careful about making sure that she was O.K. with it. I just sort of didn't ask. So that's how that goes.

My mom was born in Korea - Seoul, Korea, during the '50s, '51. She was abandoned; her and my uncle were abandoned. My grandfather was a Seabee and adopted my mom and my uncle, and brought them to Compton in the '50s. That's where she was raised.

I love Vivienne Westwood - she designs for womanly shapes.

My mom was an actress, so I got with her boutique agency back in 2001 and started booking a few commercials. She's like my co-manager.

In the Philippines, the host should always be willing to defer to the wishes of the guest.

There's milk-and-cookies Grandma, and there's Colt 45 and Atlantic City Grandma. She was the latter.

My father was a sheep shearer, so I grew up in a caravan; we'd go around from shearing shed to shearing shed. My mother always wanted us to be educated, so I went to a school.

I've never known anyone who was what he or she seemed; or at least, was only what he or she seemed. People carry worlds within them.

If Kate Moss hadn't been booked when she was 14, Kate Moss might not exist.

The only thing I wanted to buy was an Audi R8 - but my missus won't let me get it because she says it's too fast!
