I think there's no sacrifice too great for family, whether it's career, singing, whatever.

I didn't get paid for performances most of my life. If I did, I would be billionaire now, and I'm not.

You know raising a family in the lifestyle of a professional athlete can be very difficult.

It ultimately becomes an asset to be part of a theatrical family if, indeed, you're good at what you do.

In performance, you don't always feel that sort of family bond right off the top. It sort of develops and grows over time.

At the end of the day, a playback singer has to depend on live shows as their source of income.

For an individual, playback singing is not enough to sustain a career, and it is not really a main source of income.

It's an immensely competitive business, and I can tell you the older you get, the parts are fewer, and the people who are proven performers are greater.

Imagine if you grew up in a place where your lineage was there for a hundred years, and part of the culture was to play music 50 percent of the time. You'd probably have a lot of musicians in your family too.

My family aren't performers. They're just normal people. They don't understand this entertainment world. They just think it's mental. They have no idea what I'm doing in America.
