I wanted some family structure and stability, and that's what The Partridge Family afforded me, not only financially but in the fact that I could be at home with my kids.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My desire for my own sitcom began as a little girl - I spent hours lying on my belly on the shag carpeting getting lost in the world of the '70s sitcom. All I wanted to do was run away to the Brady house, The Partridge Family bus; even the project on 'Good Times' seemed better than Clark, NJ.
All I ever wanted was a big, happy family.
I had a wonderful mother who wanted my sister and me to have everything, even though money was a very prominent thing we didn't have. But we had a very happy childhood - pretty much ideal, in fact.
I've always known I wanted a family.
I was happy as an only child, but I've always wanted to be part of a bigger family.
A few years ago, I decided I wanted to be home with my family.
I really wanted to retire and rest and spend more time with my children, my grandchildren and of course with my wife.
I had the good fortune of having a happy, closely knit family.
Everything in my life was about performance when I was doing 'The Partridge Family.'
I didn't have time for my children much. I wasn't a very good parent; I had a pretty unhappy home life.
