When I auditioned for 'Bye Bye Birdie' on Broadway, Gower Champion said, 'You've got the job!' I said, 'Mr. Champion, I can't dance.' He said, 'We'll teach you what you need to know.'

I get little kids who recognize me from 'Mary Poppins,' and it just delights me because it's our third generation.

So as my kids will tell you, they had a pretty normal life.

I sing and dance. That's my job.

Carl Reiner particularly as a writer, a terrific writer. He's just turning out things.

They did ask me to do 'Dancing With The Stars;' I said I can do one show, but on that show you have to come up with a new number every week, and I told them that I think I'm a little past that stage.

I grew up in Danville, Illinois, right in the middle of the state.
