Many times I wondered if I were truly carrying out God's plan for my life.
My accent remained terrible. It was very hard for me to initiate any conversation with someone I didn't know.
I played a Spaniard. I looked about as Spanish as any other fair-skinned German.
If I live to be 90, and I'm planning to, I'll always love performing for a live audience.
Duke Ellington was famous for hs very original harmonic patterns.
I always worried I'd forget my lines or say the wrong words or the audience would laugh in the wrong places.
