I never thought I was particularly talented, and to be honest with you, I still don't.
I had older brothers and sisters who were high achievers, and I felt different, misunderstood by my family. That's not my family's fault; it was my perception.
Nobody makes me laugh like my wife.
I didn't want to be the typical teen idol. I didn't want to be Leif Garrett. I didn't want to be Shaun Cassidy, David Cassidy or Parker Stevenson. I wanted to do my own thing.
I've always been pretty tough in that way, where if you tell me I can't do something, I will prove you wrong.
We produce programs that honor God and impact our world.
This is not what I would have chosen. But I have a heart to be obedient.
When youre in that scene, you really wonder if this is all youre ever going to be. You know how vile and filthy you are inside.
I started running away when I was five years old. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized what I really wanted was somebody to come after me when I was running away.
Hollywood has always been good to me. I've never blamed Hollywood for my problems.
I got married at a very young age, and of course, for all the wrong reasons, and ended up divorced and lost everything. It was a very difficult time in my life.
Being a teen idol or being a heartthrob on all the magazines, with Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, and Scott Baio - it was embarrassing! I never understood it. I mean, why me? I never really got it.
'Give up... it's time to quit,' I don't think I've ever really accepted those kinds of words in my life or vocabulary.
I tell kids that people will let them down and people will hurt them. But Jesus Christ will never let them down and never hurt them.
