Honestly, when I got to Hollywood I was trying to sell my songs.

I had done a lot of plays, particularly at my own theater in LA, and it was the first time in my theatrical life where I didn't feel that my role was also to keep everybody else working hard.

Honestly, when I got to Hollywood I was trying to sell my songs.

Actually I have been singing since I was a kid.

I love to sing and I do think that my strength as a singer is... I think I have a voice that is certainly sufficient under most any circumstances... but I think my strength is that I really am an actor and I really do have to own what I am saying.

I have to be very careful about how often I drag my family to places. They need some stability in their lives.

Then when I got to Hollywood, the first musical I did was Festival in 1977.
