I didn't know anybody in show business, and I never thought it was the path I'd go down. I was hoping it was sports, like so many kids.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't plan on going into show business. Show business picked me. And it's been fun. One of the best things about being in show business is people think they know me, and they feel like they grew up with me.
Even though I was in close proximity to everything, it never really dawned on me to pursue a career in show business.
I was a weirdo to want to be in show business. Most kids wanted to be teachers or nurses.
I am kind of a private person, so I don't miss that part of show business at all. Looking back on my career in television and making a movie like 'The Sound of Music' from an adult point of view, it actually seems kind of unreal. I was involved in shows that people grew up with - that hold memories for them - and it's a cool feeling.
I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing.
I thought I was learning about show business. The more painful it was, the more important I thought the experience must be. Hating it, I convinced myself it must be invaluable.
In my heart and soul, I always knew that I wanted to be in show business.
I'm oddly not competitive. What I love about show business is there is a home for everyone.
I was so enamored with the idea of being in show business so everything was bright to me. I mean, I didn't think of it as being tough and things like that.
I was always in show business but in many ways was not really of show business. I didn't move in show business circles, particularly, still don't do it.
