I was a 'Laurel and Hardy' nut. I got to know Laurel at the end of his life, and it was a great thrill for me. He left me his bow tie and derby and told me that if they ever made a movie about him, he'd want me to play him.
I think it's being thrown at the wolves, we call it in our business.
There are no more Walt Disneys anymore.
I didn't even start dancing until I was in my thirties, and it was like flying.
The years have been just full of surprises for me, and a lot of fun.
As wonderful as they were, my parents didn't teach me anything about self-discipline, concentration, patience, or focus. If I hadn't had a family myself, I probably never would've done anything. Marriage taught me responsibility.
