There were times when I was a joke, but talent survives.

If you put the talent of all my brothers together, they wouldn't add up to the talent that was in my father.

The television and film business has never really been kind or compassionate, in general.

We are too occupied with celebrity. Believe me, it's not what it's cracked to be.

Everything in my life was about performance when I was doing 'The Partridge Family.'

You know, many people who become famous and enjoy great success when they're young disappear after that. Maybe I've lucked out because I came back and went to work.

My life has flourished in so many ways both personally and professionally that I can't ask for a better life.

I was always really proud of the fact that I had a very positive influence as a role model.

I nearly died twice after I replaced Michael Crawford in 'EFX.'

Kids need role models, whether it's baseball players, actors or musicians: people to bring a little positive light into their hearts and minds. We need to be a little kinder to those people because it's not easy being that role model, looked upon as something we are all incapable of being - too perfect.

I work for me, 18 hours a day. It's my gig. So I don't have time to get a point of view.

Every day is a blessing - not to get too schmaltzy, but, really, it is.

What I want is credibility I got as a songwriter and actor and doing 'Blood Brothers' on Broadway with my brother Shaun.

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.

It wasn't until later when people became aware of my writing that I would hear begrudgingly, 'You know, you really are a pretty good singer, I guess.'

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!

Just getting your name in the papers and having people talk about you is not always a good thing.

Just do me a favor. Don't call me 'former teen heartthrob,' okay? It's as if they were constantly discussing your second year of college. I'm not back there anymore. I'm living in the present.

Thoroughbred racing is really my true passion. I'm living my dream.

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 think of my career as something apart from myself.

I turned up to all my son's performances and baseball games because my father never did that for me.

It's not about the fame and the money because if you do good work all that stuff comes.

Nobody likes to be rejected, you know?
