I had always planned to be an actor, and the music was just in my DNA, it's always been.

There's not that many people from the sixties who have progressed as writers and are continuing on. They're out there. But I'm one of them who's just continued on, following his own little inner madness.

I still have auditions for independent films. I've been still working.

I'm an actor, I created the character myself originally. I do tell the fans I appreciate that they think he's real. It all finally comes down to the writers who really got the character and wrote so many memorable lines.

When I was a teenager, I was in an iron-lung.

I’ve been involved in a number of cults both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower but you make more money as a leader.

In my early days, I was about 145 pounds. I was really a starving artist; the poster child for starving artists.
