I think it's a shame when you come across young actors and musicians who haven't had the time to learn their craft. It doesn't matter if it's acting or music, you really have to learn how to do it from the bottom up because unless you have a great work ethic... fame is a terrible thing to have.

There we were in the middle of a sexual revolution wearing clothes that guaranteed we wouldn't get laid.
