It's not about the fame and the money because if you do good work all that stuff comes

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.

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.

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.

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

As a father, I do everything my dad didn't do. My son Beau's birth changed my life.

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.'
