Despite 'Mod Squad's hit status, I never really made the inner connection that I was contributing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was never really a Mod. I thought I was more of a beatnik with the brown corduroy jacket, blue jeans, etc. I loved the music Mods liked, and I loved the clothes, but I didn't have any money to spend on them.
I've spent my career trying to help people without connections understand what's going on so that they have a chance of getting a fair shake from the connected and the powerful.
I was a bit of a loner at school because I was into what I was into, that sort of scene; that is where the whole mod thing started, when I was 14-15.
When I was not connected with someone, I didn't get asked out that often.
My connection was we never want to put ourselves in a position as a nation where we pit group against group.
I definitely don't think of myself as being an influence.
Every little action creates an effect: We are all interconnected.
Connection is very important. It's extremely important for me to be connected and sharing with other people, giving them what I feel is important.
I don't know if I ever really considered making a connection with the audience.
That was all very nice of them. They didn't have to do anything because I wasn't officially involved at all.
