People will always consider me a cartoon character, a bimbo. They will never give me credit.

Garry Trudeau put me in the Doonesbury strip many years ago. So I've been a cartoon once.

The Italians always know that I'm not Italian.

Most of my school friends and even a few of my teachers called me 'Duck.'

I walk like a duck: very straight up and down. Or like a penguin. It's a dead giveaway that I'm a dancer.

I think people are surprised to learn that I'm pretty goofy and pretty funny.

I'm pretty goofy. I really do like to sing and dance in real life. I'm a rhythmic person. I love comedy; I love making people laugh. That's my brand.

When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck.

When I am walking in Central Park, I recognize the Italians. Because an Italian, even when he jogs, he's dressed perfect.
