Quote

I'm not a natural born performer.

I was born into a world where a lot of people who came to the house were performers.

I wasn't born with a natural talent for songwriting.

I became a performer because it was what I enjoyed doing.

I never wanted to be a performer. I suppose I was precocious, really.

I've always been a performer. That's just what I know.

I don't remember ever deciding to become a performer. I just always was. I began performing by mimicking the performers on the new television that first took the attention away from me as the baby of the household. I continued performing to put a smile on my grandmother's face and always considered her when accepting or declining roles.

Once I started performing I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. But you have to work really hard to be a performer.
