I wouldn't change one thing about my professional life, and I make it a point not to dwell on my mistakes.
Mom claimed that I could carry a tune at 2 or 3 years of age. Maybe she was a little prejudiced.
My beloved Mom and Pop always rated tops with each other, and that's the way it will always be.
Mom and Pop were proud of my popularity, but from their point of view, show business was no way to make a living.
