When I was a kid, I went from ground zero to Pluto. The first place I played was the Houston Astrodome.- Leif Garrett
They had me doing Beach Boys remakes and all that. I was basically a marionette.
There are certain things people always bring up with me. The accident. The drugs. And how tight my pants were.
The stardom thing happened and now I am trying to make a comeback, if you want to call it that.
Stop doing what the record companies are doing and do what's in your heart.
Stay on top of your finances. Don't leave that up to others.
Somehow I wasn't completely crucified by the critics. I do not know how or why, I probably should've been.
Just do what you like to do, and do it all the time.
I have come to understand that there's always something positive, even in a negative situation.
I have always written songs, even when I wasn't doing anything with my personal life in music.
I am not a slave to anything anymore. And I never will be again.
I wasn't the one managing my career back then, that was the problem - I was 14 years old.
I smoked heroin for six years. Kicking the habit? Hard wasn't the word for it.
I have no problem with starting from scratch.
I have no problem paying my dues and I have no problem going out and working the club circuit.
