The question for me was, could TV actually teach? I knew it could, because I knew 3-year-olds who sang beer commercials!
I wish I could tell you that the children's television workshop and sesame street were thanks to my genius, but it really was a lucky break.
Probably any successful career has "x" number of breaks in it, and maybe the difference between successful people and those who aren't superachievers is taking advantage of those breaks.
