The only thing I can't do is hear. I can drive, I have a life with four kids, I work on TV, I do movies, so the deafness question, is it that they want to know because, what? Not sure.

I am tone deaf.

So I'm half deaf - and dyslexic. How about that? Nobody's perfect, and I'm proud of my defects.

The handicap of deafness is not in the ear; it is in the mind.

I hadn't really noticed that I had a hearing problem. I just thought most people had given up on speaking clearly.

I'm not a deaf musician. I'm a musician who happens to be deaf.

I'm totally deaf in my right ear, yeah.

But as far as my work is concerned, I see no impediment, and various advantages, to being deaf.

I actually think the deafness makes you see clearer. If you can't hear, you somehow see.

I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.
