I've numerous times heard mothers in stores tell their children not to go near me.

I'm Australian, so I love the stores near Crowne Plaza Melbourne, on the banks of the Yarra River.

People know my background and for people who need an improviser, I'm one of the people they think to use if I'm appropriate for the part.

I was funny in a way that was not dissing the teacher; I was funny just to be funny. A real charmer with a prominent mustache that he didn't know what to do with and a smart-alecky attitude.

When I was a child, I was referred to as the Danny Kaye of the family, because I was always impersonating and mimicking people. I was a song and dance man.

I experienced rejection numerous times.
