“It was said to me, but there are no promises. There are no guarantees. It’s one of those things where ‘it is what it is.’ You could dwell on the past or you can go forward.
“Behind the scenes yeah it could get to me, but as a perfomer, when I go out there. I don’t care what I did. If I have to dress as Davey Crockett, fine. I’ll find a way to get it over, and that’s one of the things I’ve always been able to bank on.”
