I get my voice from my mother's side of the family. My mother and my grandmother both had strong voices.

My mom, dad, grandparents, we all do voices.

I did accents and funny voices for the family when I was growing up.

Our family was on the lunatic fringe. My mother was always completely irrepressible. My father made crowd noises into a microphone.

There was a lot of playing by myself, wearing last year's Halloween costume and wandering around the yard talking to myself - which may account for my fondness for doing different voices.

Everybody sung in my family.

It was hard for me to find my voice because I was, for so long, absorbed in my own world.

My family was very musical. My brother is an opera singer; my parents both sang.

Certainly part of being from a big family is that you have to shout to make yourself heard.

I feel that through my father's music I've found my own voice in my own playing.
