I do not think I'm a great talent. I think I'm a medium talent, but I think I understand the business and enjoy the business.

You know, I never knew if I had any talent when I started in this business. My first job was being a page at The Tonight Show. I saw Jack Paar come out one night and sit on the edge of his desk and talk about what he'd done the night before. I thought, 'I can do that!' I used to do that on a street corner in the Bronx with all my buddies.

I never really thought about becoming a professional musician.

I have never really been confident about my career at any stage.

I've never been in the music industry, only acting.

I don't know if I discovered I had any talent. It was dogged persistence. I had to have the music.

I never intended being a business person I wanted to be a fashion designer.

No one would have picked me out in high school and said, 'This guy is going to be in show business.' I don't have any of the talents you would normally associate with show business.

Everybody has talent, it's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is.
