There's more upside potential globally, in places like Asia, emerging markets and even in the US.
My dad left when I was 3 1/2, and he left my mom and I.
It definitely is not everyday business. This is just like one of those freak things, one of those 100-year floods. It's good to get a chance to help in the country as opposed to going overseas getting shot at.
Once they began doing 'Celebrity Apprentice,' apparently the audience wasn't that keen on the ordinary apprentice. That is probably the best indictment with our fascination with celebrity in our culture, which drives me crazy.
I've always had a special relationship with the U.K. fans, because even when I wasn't working they were very supportive.
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 was silver-white by the time I was 35, but having grey hair makes me look washed out. My wife and son have both said that grey hair doesn't suit me because I have a boyish face.
I'm never going to retire and say, 'This is it. This is my last show.' I will not go on tour - I promised my wife and son no more than two weeks on the road.
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.
Oh, yeah. I grew up in Southern California in the 1960′s. It was very different. I was an only child as opposed to having siblings. My brothers all lived with my step-mom. I am very close to them, but we were not raised in the same house.
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 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.
