I got in touch with my agent and told him I wanted to start going out on things again.

With the other fellow actors who have gone astray, I think it's sad that society wants to label the business as doing this to people. It's really not true.

When entertainment was begun, during the Depression, it was supposed to take people's minds off reality. People could sing, dance, act or do anything. It was the type of entertainment that was available.

Acting is definitely put at the back of my mind, if it's there at all right now. It's all entertainment.

I was 20 years old and felt I had a lot to offer, even to myself.

Whatever I'm doing, whatever comes along, this music is something that I've always wanted to do.

As far as the media is concerned, I wouldn't shoot anything down.
