Um, I was told as a kid, I couldn't sing.

And this is a great example of what you can do when you start employing tenacity and just embrace it.

As a kid, I was told I couldn't sing.

There were a lot of things I thought I couldn't do.

I accepted that.

And I believed that until I was in my forties and I got drunk at a party and it's about five

4 a.m.

in Norway.

I'm on vacation and I start singing along to a Johnny Cash song on the radio and they turned on the radio and this guy who's in a band goes, you're singing with us tomorrow.

And I go, no, I don't sing.

And he goes, yeah, you do.

You're singing with us tomorrow.

And I was just happy enough at that point that I went, okay.

Well, the next day I was so terrified by all this.

I'm like, what is happening?

Like what?

Oh my God.

Like, no.

But I got up on stage and I sang the song Hurt, Johnny's rendition of that.

I thought to a polite applause, I hopped off stage, ran to the bar and went like, why did I do that?
