There's more upside potential globally, in places like Asia, emerging markets and even in the US.
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.
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've had a great metamorphosis in my life. I struggled for a number of years because I was identified with that image of the Seventies.
I've had a passion for horses since I was very young - I used to sit on the floor in front of the races on television and pretend to be a jockey - and I first began reading the racing form on the set of 'The Partridge Family.
I understand the rock star deal having been one and still going out strapping my guitar on and performing. Now, I probably do 30 or 40 dates a year and I get to relive how I felt at 19 when I played in some really bad bands.
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.
My life has flourished in so many ways both personally and professionally that I can't ask for a better life.
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.
My music was never considered cool, but I've always felt that connection with the audience.
Thoroughbred racing is really my true passion. I'm living my dream.
