I knew when I was a kid that I had a Broadway voice. I wanted to be a rocker, because I grew up in that era of transistor radios at the beach.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always wanted to be a singer, and so, when I was 5 years old, I started acting classes so I could be a better performer. I wanted to have a powerful voice so I could be heard.
I wanted to be a rock star when I grew up, or at least a singer/songwriter.
Luckily for me, when I was growing up in high school, I had a band, and I was a singer in the band. I'm less of a legit Broadway singer than I am a pop-rock singer.
When I was a kid, I had ambitions for being a television announcer, which was before television took off, you know, in the late '40s. And just through necessity, going out looking for work, I was starting to sing, and dance, and act, and I never expected to do that, nor to have any success at it at least.
When I was 9 years old, I really wanted to be in the show business. I really wanted to be an artist. I would grab a wooden spoon and I would start singing, even if it was for my uncles and my aunts. And I would just sing any lah-lah song.
Growing up, I always wanted to be a singer, and I've done that.
I always wanted to play music and have it be my career and knew this by the age of 12.
I always wanted to be a rock star. That was my childhood dream. That's what I told everybody I was going to be when I grew up.
The first thing I wanted to be was an actor, even before I wanted to be a singer, before I discovered I could sing.
At a very early age I knew I wanted to be an actor and then more specifically that I wanted to be on Broadway and be in musicals.
