I couldn't speak English. I'm in kindergarten, and the only reason I got through to first grade is because I cheated.

I really wanted to speak English because I started touring the world, and I wanted to communicate with people directly.

If I had learned education I would not have had time to learn anything else.

For over ten years I always had, but I don't speak English.

When I was a kid, I resented my grandparents not speaking the perfect English I wanted to speak.

I learned how to speak English watching television.

If I'd known how old I was going to be I'd have taken better care of myself.

I lived in England to learn English. When I went to England for the first time, it was like being on the Moon. I had no friends, I couldn't speak the language. I was very isolated.

My parents didn't speak English. They learned it little by little. They realized that education was the ticket to a better future in their own rudimentary way. They kept the house clean, kept us on the straight and narrow, and none of us ever got into trouble with the law.

Expressing myself through language was always something that I had had to learn to do more so than others.
