The television and film business has never really been kind or compassionate, in general.
-
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.
-
Just getting your name in the papers and having people talk about you is not always a good thing.
-
Nobody likes to be rejected, you know?
-
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.
-
When you have had the kind of fame I had, I was always hounded by the media and I lived a very isolated life. Now it's even more difficult. The world has changed dramatically.
-
I don't listen to the news or read newspapers. I don't know what's going on in this world, or why I should vote for George McGovern or Richard Nixon. I don't have enough time.
-
I don't play nostalgia acts. I don't play nostalgia shows.
-
I've been able to go on and have a successful career on Broadway and certainly the last five years in Las Vegas have been amazing.
-
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.
-
Thoroughbred racing is really my true passion. I'm living my dream.

Until I really dealt with a lot of the demons in my life - the fear and self-doubt and unresolved issues with my old man - I could never feel fulfilled and happy. I would wake up in the morning and feel bad.
-
Having all that - the fame and adulation and women and all that stuff they talk about - doesn't make you happy. You have to make yourself happy.
-
You cannot make a teenage idol.
-
Every day is a blessing - not to get too schmaltzy, but, really, it is.
-
If you put the talent of all my brothers together, they wouldn't add up to the talent that was in my father.
-
There's nothing wrong with becoming a role model, nothing wrong with inspiring people to become musicians, to become actors.
-
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 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.
-
Doing musicals and theatrical productions, I never did any of my hits.
-
I hitched up to Haight-Ashbury in the Summer of Love, you know? And I was very much politically aligned with that whole mentality, the whole ideology of that generation, the music, the culture, the behavior.
-
It's not that my father didn't love me, it's just that he wasn't capable of consistently being there. His mood swings were gigantic.
-
As a father, I do everything my dad didn't do. My son Beau's birth changed my life.
-
It's always nice to have people love you, but I'd just like to be judged fairly.
