It is not always easy. Your successes are unheralded -- your failures are trumpeted. I sometimes have that feeling myself." [ , November 28, 1961]
I felt that, in retrospect, there was a time in the late Seventies, after I had a string of hits and successes, as a performer and a recording artist, that I wasn't saying anything.
I've been offered a couple of shows that have been very successful, but they weren't right for me. It has to be something I could be excited about for a long time.
Hopefully I'll be successful with the singing, but there are so many other things I want to do, like acting. I'll do them one at a time first!

There's a lot of pressure on Broadway. There's this feeling that the show has to be a commercial success and the producers have to make their money back and Tonys and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Like everybody, I have invested in things that have gone bad, because there's never any guarantee of success or profit when it comes to money.
