The situation is not good with the record companies. It's just not working out, so I don't plan to record until it's straightened out. In the meantime I'm happy doing my movies and writing the music for the theme songs, whether I sing them or not.

Here I found myself in my early 20s, at the height of my career, up against something I was totally powerless against. I had enemies I had never heard of because of this. I certainly didn't have needles hanging out of my arms, nor did I smoke anything.

The music industry had virtually blacklisted me.

I didn't have to go to school, graduate and then go, What am I going to do? I knew from the beginning.

When I act, I act. When I sing, I sing. I don't put one over the other. Entertaining is what I do best.

I'll never be that trusting again, believing accountants and lawyers have my best interests at heart.

I knew early in life that I wanted a show business career.
