I wanted to be a veterinarian. I adored animals, raised everything in the world and decided that was going to be what I was going to do. But I could sing.

We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.

I had done 25 motion pictures prior to The Partridge Family and nobody knew my name.

I wanted some family structure and stability, and thats what The Partridge Family afforded me, not only financially but in the fact that I could be at home with my kids.

There's always someone to tell you you have to. Wrong. Don't. Rather, spend time finding out who you really are. Work on being more of that. A lot better than the futile gotta change treadmill, which never really ends.

The musicals had a good, happy feeling, saying that the world is a better place. They say it's not reality, but who cares? There's too much reality these days.

I'm a fan of Jerome Kern and Gershwin. That's my kind of music.
