sweet kings teenage
You know I got kicked out of high school and I used to go to Hendrix concerts. I used to go see Marvin Gaye and B.B. King and so here I am on television as an actor playing the part of this really sweet wholesome all American boy. The reality was I had a much different kind of teenage life.
supportive special fans
I've always had a special relationship with the U.K. fans, because even when I wasn't working they were very supportive.
priorities different slim
I'm not saying that I won't tour again, but the chances are slim because my priorities are different now.
son two wife
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.
son hair white
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.
stars guitar years
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.
play nostalgia shows
I don't play nostalgia acts. I don't play nostalgia shows.
kids years play
For me to go back and to play for audiences some of whom have been following me for thirty years and some who have found me in the last five or six years, that's really an interesting thing. I have an audience that goes from kids to seventy year olds.
school son careers
I would be devastated if my son could not have music as part of his curriculum in school. It should not be a choice between culture and technical training - well-rounded students and graduates will make appropriate choices for their careers, but they must also be trained to make appropriate social choices.
people biographies awful
I've had three biographies made about my life so people know an awful lot about me.
numbers years metamorphosis
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.
horse reading passion
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.
brother father together
If you put the talent of all my brothers together, they wouldn't add up to the talent that was in my father.
mom years height
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.
