If you ask most high schoolers who Bruce Lee is, they will say that it someone they sit next to in English class.

I've been called 'Bruce Lee.' I've been called other less offensive, but equally stupid and racist kind of terms.

'Shaka' is my catchphrase. Emeril got 'bam,' I got 'Shaka.'

My mother still calls me Jim and that is about it. Everyone else calls me Lee. My wife calls me whatever.

I remember thinking, in Kansas my name will be Evett - which is my middle name. I didn't want to explain to anyone how to say Em-a-yat-zee.

At acting school people didn't speak like me. It was all received pronunciation - 'ow now brown cow.'

Even now, most people call me Joy or Joe Lee or Joey. It's all fine with me. The only time I correct them is when they refer to me as Spike Lee's sister.

My original name was Juaquin, and my cousin couldn't pronounce my name right. So he'd just be saying 'Waka! Waka!' So when I was younger, I used to always laugh, then my man Gucci gave me the rest of the name.

My name is actually Polish. It's my husband's name. Most people say 'Zaw-stak,' but it's 'Show-stack,' like you're going to a show, eating a stack of pancakes.

I didn't always spell my name Bil. My parents named me Bill, but when I started drawing cartoons on the wall, they knocked the 'L' out of me.
