I believe I became one of the first singers to be launched via television exposure. I guess I was a new kind of musical stylist for a new kind of media.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The first thing I wanted to be was an actor, even before I wanted to be a singer, before I discovered I could sing.
I actually started out on the stage as a singer.
I got my first acting role because I was a singer.
I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.
Originally I considered myself a 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.
I was very vocal about what I wanted to do at a very young age. I wanted to be inside of the television set. I didn't know being on TV was being an actor.
I always knew I wanted to work in entertainment, but I actually really wanted to be a singer more than an actress.
The acting was first. As a teenager I was an actress; and then I came back as a singer.
My first inspiration for acting came from the first episode of 'Hannah Montana.' That's when I knew I wanted to be a singer and an actress.
