1977 is the year I made my first movie. Shortly after, I was offered quite nice roles in television. The general consensus among everyone was that I'd be out of my mind to do that.

I was never that into the movies. Never. Even as a youngster. I became interested in movie music only because of the studio orchestras in Hollywood.

The acting was first. As a teenager I was an actress; and then I came back as a singer.

Music always came first. I never set out to be an actor.

I did a lot of theater growing up, and in college I was in the musical 'Chicago.'

The first willing concert I went to was Aerosmith when I was like 14.

The first thing I ever did was play talent shows at the Uptown Theater and the Adelphi Ballroom.

I did musicals from about age 10 to 18.

I got into theater at an early age.
