Karl Malden was quite a mentor. He taught me things he had learned from being in front of a camera so long.

Being able to fantasize for a couple of days at being a rock singer surpassed most things I've done on stage.

Everyone always told me I was fated to be in front of the camera.

Then, at some point, you get identified with certain things.

I was born in front of a camera and really don't know anything else.

Mainly what I learned from Buddy... was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn't have any barriers to it.
