I played in garage bands and rock and roll bands when I was in junior high and high school and saw some of the great talents of all time in the local area where I lived.
I look fine. I've had no surgery apart from an operation I had decades ago to remove the fat under my eyes. My mum looked 30 when she was 60, so I guess I owe it all to genes and hair dye.
I had a lot of very religious influences - Christian religious.
I found myself very lost after 'The Partridge Family,' and I lost my dad and I lost my manager, and I lived in a bubble, and it took me 15 years to get through that and a lot of psychotherapy, and I'm laughing about it now!
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.
Everything in my life was about performance when I was doing 'The Partridge Family.
As a father, I do everything my dad didn't do. My son Beau's birth changed my life.
I've always had a love for horses since I was really young. When I was 5 years old, the only thing that made me happy was when they'd take me out and give me pony rides.
I'm a really good team player. That's what it takes to work in the theater. That's what it takes to work in a band with musicians and writers.
It's been the work that has carried me and I never wanted to rest on my laurels or go back and do what I done before.
It's not about the fame and the money because if you do good work all that stuff comes
The difference now is that the paparazzi get paid fortunes. That's what motivates people; it's about the money, sadly, at anyone's expense.
My dad left when I was 3 1/2, and he left my mom and I.
There's more upside potential globally, in places like Asia, emerging markets and even in the US.
