To the general public, show business may just mean the artistic part, but the dollar and cents element is the reality every performer has to face.

Initially, I wanted to be an ice skater, but then when I was 13 I saw Bye Bye Birdie, and that was it - I wanted to be on Broadway.

In Hollywood now when people die they don't say, 'Did he leave a will?' but 'Did he leave a diary?'

Now, having had this experience, I can't say really what they were looking for. I don't know their minds. But every time I see a reality show, it seems that the most entertaining parts on other reality shows are when they make their guests look foolish.

I walk fast. Keep moving. Always be a moving target. Marilyn Monroe taught me that.

And what I liked the most about any project was that when it was good, you had a bunch of people trying to accomplish something together who were all acting together as one - that's the most exciting time for me.

Audiences are the same all over the world, and if you entertain them, they'll respond.
