And I was fortunate enough to be in his orbit for many years.”
He went on to talk about the Broadway show they saw together. “And every time we’d go backstage, I’d try to help him, you know, on the stairs backstage and he’d always hit my hand and tell me to leave him alone,” he continued. “He knows what he’s doing. I can tell you that.”
