It's weird. I guess I got so used to [g-strings] when I was really young that I just couldn't stand it anymore.

When I was a kid... I don't know which was more embarrassing, when I was really into The Beatles or when I was a hippie.

Maybe one of the strangest opportunities was I got to ring the closing bell on the New York Stock Exchange.

I just count myself really lucky to have a career that I love and that continues to pay my rent.

I loved Wilson Pickett, so I just went on from there. I became sort of a semi-groupie because, I don't know, I got bitten by the music bug.

I do not remember the '70s, for who-knows-what-all reasons.

I was probably about 13 or 14, and I went by myself to the City Auditorium in Colorado Springs and saw the guy who wrote and sang "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini." Brian something. And I got to meet him and he signed an autograph for me, a little piece of paper. Brian Hyland! It was so bizarre.
