I wanted to be a professional athlete. Young men and women from Montana don't make it to the professional level that often. And I always believed that because I was a great football player that made me better than you. And that's not the case at all.

When you're talking to potential professional athletes, I really like to talk about the fact that even though you're a great athlete, that doesn't make you a good person. And if you can build that foundation first, everything else usually follows suit.

Everybody's got some things that have happened bad in their past. Mine was just very public.

A lot of times people say they want a fresh start, but you can't really have a fresh start because it doesn't happen that way.

Regardless, I did rise to the editorship before embarking on a freelance career in the late '60's.

My dad had a huge influence on my career.

I still sing on bits and pieces. Singing's something that I love to do, but it's not something that I pursue as a career.

I wanted to stay on a career path of the likes of Natalie Portman. I didn't want to be pigeonholed into a certain genre. I sort of believe that slow and steady wins the race.
