My mother is Italian and my dad's Irish. In my family we're expressive. Nobody holds back.

I think there's nothing better than laughing in life so that's nice to be thought of as someone who can make someone laugh. It's 'cause I think life is hard. You know my dad was a really silly man. A great Irish silly man. And that's fine.

My dad's half-Lebanese my mom is full Lebanese. I'm three-quarters Lebanese. Irish-Lebanese.

I grew up in a predominantly Caucasian neighborhood but my mom is Filipino-Spanish and my dad is Irish.

Have you heard about the Irishman who reversed into a car boot sale and sold the engine?

To be honest I live among the English and have always found them to be very honest in their business dealings. They are noble hard-working and anxious to do the right thing. But joy eludes them they lack the joy that the Irish have.

I hope 'The Voice' has a fifteen-year run don't get me wrong. But I come from nothing and maybe it's the Irish in me but my attitude is always like 'They'll figure me out soon.'
