When 'Play' first came out, journalists didn't review it; it didn't get radio play. And then it became this big successful record and, I hate to admit this, I found myself liking the fame. I bought into it.

I loved being a rock and roll star, but it wasn't what I wanted in life.

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.

That's pretty much why I went into show business because I wanted to have a guitar and sing unaccompanied, that was like my fantasy of the perfect life.

It's a tough transition really for theater actors to adjust to television or film, and all of these years later, I still have a tendency to play it too big.

I'm still getting thrilled with music even after 40 years of doing it professionally.

Sometimes '30 Rock' was a struggle because I'd be doing the show and still be doing stand-up full-time.

To me, there was nothing greater than to play for an audience and to entertain people and that has stayed with me all these years.

I was a musician for years before I started doing this stuff. Show business was the only thing I ever considered.
