Leif Garrett Quotations

I believe in a higher power and I believe in good and bad, right and wrong. You sleep in the bed you make.

Stay on top of your finances. Don't leave that up to others

I've come to understand that there's always something positive, even in a negative situation.

The stardom thing happened and now I'm trying to make a comeback, if you want to call it that.

Frank Sinatra is the only one that went from teen idol to superstar.

Just do what you like to do, and do it all the time.

Somehow I wasn't completely crucified by the critics. I don't know how or why, I probably should've been.

Aerosmith went on The Simpsons and they had fun.

Each song is a lifetime, it begins and ends, and there's a journey taken within the songs.

I have no problem paying my dues and I have no problem going out and working the club circuit.

Stop doing what the record companies are doing and do what's in your heart.

There are certain things people always bring up with me. The accident. The drugs. And how tight my pants were.

I'm not a slave to anything anymore. And I never will be again.

Having regrets and things, it just takes your time away.

They had me doing Beach Boys remakes and all that. I was basically a marionette.

When I was a kid, I went from ground zero to Pluto. The first place I played was the Houston Astrodome.

I feel like I've got all this knowledge and experience under my belt from the past but at the same time, it's like starting up and I'm brand new to it. I'm really digging it.

I think you have to be ready to quit within yourself. If you're not, it doesn't matter what rehab you go to.
