I don't plan on going back to legal work. I wanted an international career and finance seemed to be where some interesting career opportunities were.

I got IRS records to finance what I wanted to do.

I'd gone from being this art student messing about with music to this girl with a record deal magazine front covers and all this hype. In many ways it was everything I ever wanted but when it happened all I felt was total paralysing fear.

More than anything else my mother wanted to be an actress - a famous actress - which in the 1950s was all about being young sexy and available. She was all that and more. She had big blue eyes alabaster skin a heart-shaped face a beautiful figure. She was just a knockout.

The first syndicating I tried was when two partners and I created a production company in 1952. We wanted to syndicate famous Bible stories and sell them for $25 a show.

I wanted to be a rich famous rock-and-roll star in that order.

I didn't set out to be famous if I'd wanted that I would have gone on 'Big Brother.'

I'm famous by default. I came out of the womb and people wanted to know who I was because of my parents.

I've wanted to perform my entire life. I found a paper I wrote in kindergarten class about what I wanted to be when I grew up - and I wrote 'a famous singer!'

I never set out to be rich and famous. I wanted to follow my own path.
