I've had three biographies made about my life so people know an awful lot about me.
For me to go back and to play for audiences some of whom have been following me for thirty years and some who have found me in the last five or six years, that's really an interesting thing. I have an audience that goes from kids to seventy year olds.
I don't play nostalgia acts. I don't play nostalgia shows.
I've been able to go on and have a successful career on Broadway and certainly the last five years in Las Vegas have been amazing.
In California, of all places, entertainment is the key to a vibrant economy. If we do not develop young adults capable of entering that world, the financial base of this state is sure to suffer and impact all of us.
I have an audience that goes from kids to seventy year olds.
My life has flourished in so many ways both personally and professionally that I can't ask for a better life.
I had a lot of very religious influences - Christian religious.
I bought my first horse when I was 15. I always loved racing and I started studying about breeding and I've been doing it now for 30 years, so I have some credibility.
When you have had the kind of fame I had, I was always hounded by the media and I lived a very isolated life. Now it's even more difficult. The world has changed dramatically.
Everything in my life was about performance when I was doing 'The Partridge Family.
My music was never considered cool, but I've always felt that connection with the audience.
My mom used to take me down to the Jersey Shore when I was 7, 8, 9 years old. I can remember being down in that area - Belmar, Seaside Heights, Asbury Park and all those places that I went back and revisited.
Thoroughbred racing is really my true passion. I'm living my dream.
