Being a teen idol or being a heartthrob on all the magazines, with Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, and Scott Baio - it was embarrassing! I never understood it. I mean, why me? I never really got it.

I've always been pretty tough in that way, where if you tell me I can't do something, I will prove you wrong.

I got married at a very young age, and of course, for all the wrong reasons, and ended up divorced and lost everything. It was a very difficult time in my life.

'Give up... it's time to quit,' I don't think I've ever really accepted those kinds of words in my life or vocabulary.

I had a lot of growing and a lot of denying of self to do. I am not easily won over, but when I am, I am completely won over.

Nobody makes me laugh like my wife.

I didn't become an actor because I wanted to act. Actually, I wanted to become a marine biologist. But most of all, I wanted to be accepted.
