When I was 11, I moved to Los Angeles to live with my father and stepmother and my half brothers. I became really close to my stepmother, and I am still very close to my brothers. My stepmother is the actress Shirley Jones, who was in The Partridge Family alongside me, so we worked together for years.

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'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.

My life has flourished in so many ways both personally and professionally that I can't ask for a better life.

I've always had a special relationship with the U.K. fans, because even when I wasn't working they were very supportive.

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.
