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

The music industry had virtually blacklisted me.

Your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind

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

I was put into this business by my parents as soon as I could walk. I was groomed by them for this business. I didn't wake up at the early ages of 5 or 6 and say I want to be a star.

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.

I play piano and write better than I can sing.
