I enjoyed being in 'The Ten Commandments.' That was a great experience - to suddenly become one of those holy people. I was holier than thou.
Well mine is not gimmicky - it is the 6 food groups that God made, and exercising every day. Trying to think positively.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
I think everybody had difficulties with that dynamic, turning the family into a band and being constantly together. So everybody, as individuals. had things to sort out.
There's an honesty in our family - my kids and I are able to talk about things without me putting the fear of God into them.
The secret is to make sure your family comes before anything else, because no matter what you do you've got to come home.
The Jersey Shore is the kind of place where the policeman has a little cottage that might have been in the family for years and many other people call home.
I'd always lived with people - my family, or had people living with me, because I'd never liked being on my own.
I've always had bizarre, negative feelings about anything traditional, like marriage and family. I never thought something like that worked.
Sometimes you struggle so hard to feed your family one way, you forget to feed them the other way, with spiritual nourishment. Everybody needs that.
But back then the thing that saved me was the music, and it's certainly the music that saves me now. The music, my family and my friends and everybody around me.
I like playing music because it's a good living and I get satisfaction from it. But I can't feed my family with satisfaction.
It was a source of shame for my family that I was in rock and roll, which is so blue-collar. It just isn't done. And I felt it, too.
I started imagining this whole different world. It was a society of musicians, a family I hoped I could belong to one day.
I think in the case of horror, it's a chance to confront a lot of your worse fears and those fears usually have to do, ironically, with powerlessness and isolation.
What makes creative people tingle are interesting problems, the chance to impress their friends, and caffeine.
The guy comes up to the plate, there's always a chance where he can get a grand slam and everybody forgets about all the times he missed.
So when you get a chance to look at things and chill and relax, it makes you want it more, and that's why I'm so happy to be back!
This almost never happens, but what is really relaxing is just being in this house all by myself, sitting quietly and watching TV. But I basically never get that chance.
I believe as a born-again Christian that once you've had a chance to drink from the well, it becomes your responsibility to replenish the well.
I am grateful I got the chance to meet Stevie Wonder! He's like royalty to me and is one of my biggest inspirations.
