On The Whole, I Think

A Lot Of My Life Happened In Great, Wonderful Bursts Of Good Fortune, And Then I Would Race To Be Worthy Of It.

I Certainly Wouldn't Compare The Rewards Of Watching One's Children Grow And Mature With That Of Money Piling Up At The Box Office. Both Are Pleasant, But To Varying Degrees. As The Old Saying Goes, You Can't Take An Audience Home With You. You Can't Depend On The Loyalty Of Fans, Who, After All Is Said And Done, Are Just Faceless People One Seldom Sees. And Few Stars Have Their Fans Forever. But A Child Is Forever. That Bond And Relationship Is Timeless And Doesn't Depend On Your Looks, Age Or Popularity At The Moment.

You Always Do That With Movie Musicals. You Prerecord And Then You Lip-synch To Playback.

As A Rule, My Focus Is On Classical Music, But I Love Jazz. I Love Everything, Actually.

I Saw The Sound Of Music Again Recently, And I Loved It. Probably It's A More Valuable Film Now Than When It First Came Out, Because Some Of The Things It Stood For Have Already Disappeared. There's A Kind Of Naive Loveliness About It, And Love Goes By So Fast ... Love And Music And Happiness And Family, That's What It's All About. I Believe In These Things. It Would Be Awful Not To, Wouldn't It?
