The Literal, Basic Thing Of The Stage

I Found That Speaking Live To People, Young People, About What I Liked And What Had Been Happening To Me Was Very Good For Me. I Was Quite Overtaken By Success And Fame. I Was One Of Those Types Who Responded To It In A Negative Way. It Was Not Easy.

I Didn't Go For The Needle At All. I Never Cared For Drugs, Because I Saw What They Did To Most People. I Thought That Was The End Of The Road.

I Went Back To The Stage Because It Was My Way Of Dealing With The Success I Had, My Way Of Coping. It Was A Way Of Escaping The Responsibilty Of What Was Happening.

If Something Is Working, Don't Fix It. Keep Going. Go With The Glow.

My Dad Was In The Army. World War Ii. He Got His College Education From The Army. After World War Ii He Became An Insurance Salesman. Really, I Didn't Know My Dad Very Well. He And My Mother Split Up After The War. I Was Raised By My Maternal Grandmother And Grandfather, And By My Mother.
