I made it, Ma - Carnegie Hall. And I didn't have to practice.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Well, I never really practiced because I never had the opportunity to practice.
That night at Carnegie Hall was a great experience. When the thing was first put up to me I was a little dubious, not knowing just what would be expected of us.
There were times I wouldn't come to practice, because it didn't excite me. It wasn't interesting. I was kind of going through the motions.
It's hard for me to just practice without writing something.
I always knew I was going to make it, without doubt.
I did theater at Carnegie, and in Pittsburgh and New York.
When I was coming up, I practiced all the time because I thought if I didn't I couldn't do my best.
I made all sorts of things: drawings, sculptures - I was doing origami before I even knew the word. I was constantly creating.
I was a workhorse; there was never a practice that I didn't enjoy.
I don't make things with my hands, although I studied woodworking and made furniture.
