But Carson and I have seen so many people go down with drugs, we have no desire to do them. Neither one of us has even tried them. There was never anything else I wanted to do, so I went to The Professional Children's School in Manhattan and later did commercials. Well, I commuted to high school in New York City. I had to go over the bridge to New York every day on public transportation from my hometown in New Jersey.
New Jersey gets a bad rap.
But all of those mean comments made me tough. Honey, I knew it. I was thrilled. I thought I could go anywhere from there. Of course, that wasn't true.
