“I was not a trained actor.” — Frankie Avalon Quote

I was not a trained actor.

I learned not to blink in a close-up or move your head at all, because if you did, they wouldn't use it.

I've been around two years shy of 50 years doing what I do. I am a musician.

For me, the biggest successes I've ever had were the ones I never counted on. I never thought my first big record would be a hit. I thought it was an average song.

Everybody wants instant gratification for everything. It's all got to be like fast food. You want a hamburger now, you get it now. Hey, even when McDonald's started out, it took them a couple of minutes to make your burger and get it to you. Now, it's all wham, bam. That's tough enough on a burger. It's impossible with a relationship.

I've trained since I started walking, I've played sports, I've competed. I've learned how to win, even if I haven't done it as much as I'd like.

I mean, I deal with so many problems on a personal basis with my students and I think to myself, 'Nobody ever trained me to do this.'

I trained together with Jacare for a long time.

Prince, I think, trained amazing musicians to bring more to any musical table they come to.

I was trained on the stage, and I can do stage as well as I can do movies, but I prefer films.
