My life has flourished in so many ways both personally and professionally that I can't ask for a better life.
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 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.
My dad left when I was 3 1/2, and he left my mom and I.
I've always had a special relationship with the U.K. fans, because even when I wasn't working they were very supportive.
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.
In a very short period of time, actors can become kind of relevant and hot.
My mother, Evelyn, was an actress and singer, and my father, Jack, was an actor. My earliest recollection of my father is being taken to see him in a matinee.
My mother gave up a good part of her career to look after me.
As a father, I do everything my dad didn't do. My son Beau's birth changed my life.
Everything in my life was about performance when I was doing 'The Partridge Family.'
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.'
All I had done for five years was work 18 hours a day all over the world. I needed to step back and distance myself from it.
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 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.
If you put the talent of all my brothers together, they wouldn't add up to the talent that was in my father.
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.
Thoroughbred racing is really my true passion. I'm living my dream.
It's a difficult journey when you're going through a divorce, is it not, for anyone?
