For a long time, I thought of singing as my mom's thing. I loved it, but I thought of dance as my thing.

My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.

I was always singing and dancing for my mother when I wasn't glued to the television watching I Love Lucy or the Carol Burnett Show.

Mum decided that I could sing a bit, so she put me in a choir, which I hated, and it was just a nightmare. I was a rebellious sort of choirboy.

I sang a song at my sister's wedding. My mother forced me into that, too. But that one felt all right.

I was clearly brought into the whole thing about acting by my mother. She loved the theater. She had a very pleasant singing voice, which she used to sing for her ladies' club.

I didn't want to do anything my mother wanted me to do so surely I wasn't going to sing for her.

I sang in choir as a kid.

I really wanted to make it as a ballet dancer to make my mom proud. But it didn't happen.

I ended up doing a local AmDram musical when I was nine or so. We had to sing and dance and act. It was probably terrible, but I loved it.
