My role in the Mamas and Papas was basically just to sing.

My advice is precisely the advice my mother gave me. If you believe you have talent, the next thing you must have is determination. If you keep working, keep striving, and try always to move forward a little bit with every job you do, you'll eventually make it. And I believe that!

I've heard that story about kids are high naturally, but I've seen kids that aren't high, kids who've had the high taken out of them.

I would say the world's in terrible shape, but I'm afraid the world would say, "Look who's talking".

I say, "Look, I'm here now. There must be a reason I'm here." If that's fatalistic, be that as it may. Where my work is, is where my life is, and if we're falling in the ocean, we're falling into the ocean.

Honesty is all you need.

They're paying me an outrageous sum of money; $40,000 a week, which is totally silly.
