That something extra, I believe, is a certain humanity that comes from upbeat and positive human interest letters and success stories. Advertisers like to be associated with those qualities.

I accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. That is the timeless thing.

Because of my background in theater and radio acting, I knew that I could make a living as an actor.

Interestingly, songs used to be short, then they became longer, and now they're getting shorter.

It's been amazing, the number of commercials that I've done, starting back in 1968. It must be 8,000.

Basically, radio hasn't changed over the years.

Success doesn't happen in a vacuum. You’re only as good as the people you work with and the people you work for.
