After The Partridge Family I worked as a stable boy for Kenny Rogers for a while. But during the show my Mom and I had a couple of horses named Beauty and Patience. Neither attribute was possessed by these horses. |
As it has been told to me, my Dad had some kind of deal with Dick Clark. But when we got here, that fell through. So we were out here with no job, no furniture, no food. |
Breaking Bonaduce, |
Daddy's just not a very handy guy when it comes to installing windows. |
I am a proud participant of the Spencer Tracy School of Acting: Know your lines, don't bump into the furniture. |
I personally look at acting-at least for television-as an occupation for the mentally challenged. It's not a real job for real people who have any skill. I mean, they tell you what to say. They pick out all your clothes, and put your name on your chair in case you can't figure out where to sit. |
I was into whatever my big brother was into, like Black Sabbath and Zeppelin. But if I look at those two forms of music now, I much prefer The Partridge Family. I never liked Zeppelin. |
If I knew that I was going to implode, ... I would have never in a million years done [the show]. |
If you ever get rich and famous, by definition you are special. You have done something special, and therefore you start to behave special. Then if the floor drops out, and you become down and out, you have a really new perspective. |
If you're a kid in Southern California, somebody - whether it's you or your parents - somebody throws your hat into the ring and I think everyone had a commercial or two. |
It hasn't even started airing, but we're both dreading the reaction, |
It's weird because horses kind of come and go in my life. |
My Dad did not like me enough to hit. My dad thought he was disciplining. My dad never thought he was being abusive - ever. He always thought he was doing the right thing, and he did not like me enough to do the right thing by me. Which would have been to whip me - literally - into shape. |
never was under the influence of alcohol or drugs while performing his broadcasting duties for the station. |
Plus I wouldn't have to muscle through this crap anymore, and I'd be James Dean. Anyone can die in a car crash. It takes a special guy to actually be the car crash. |
