While acknowledging the strong emotional foundation that Norbert Singer and Grace Sinden provided, he often has indicated that his status as an adopted child profoundly impacted his view of the world. In particular, he has related his fascination with concepts of identity to the mystery surrounding his origins. In an interview with Ruthe Stein, Singer indicated that he knows virtually nothing about his biological parents, except for the fact that his father lives in England. Thus, as he explained to Michael Joseph Gross, "There's this other heritage that could be anything."
