Quotes: We would keep up the front of this totally problemless, happy-go-lucky group. There might have been a tremendous battle in our home, but if someone from outside came in, it would be as if the director yelled, "Roll 'em". We'd fall right into our stage roles. <br /> <hr> It's an awfully big load to carry, to be everyone's fantasy family. <br /> <hr> [on his lack of sibling rivalry over Rick's larger fanbase] We were 3? years apart, so when Rick was funny I laughed with everyone else. And when he became a popular singer, I rooted for him.
