My first ever stage performance was in Edinburgh in 1960.

I'm about to challenge for the Maryland Cup in the next couple of years, as an owner, a trainer, and a rider.

We wanted to interview people on the show, do variety, get the artists, the guests involved with us in our group. They wanted to keep the four guys together. We wanted to change the format.

And it really pisses Peter and Micky off when I get onto one of those tangents where I start to do humor.

The only people who didn't like it [The Monkees] were the French, and they don't even like themselves, so what's the point?

America changed my life, but I still think of home and working in Scotland was an important part of that.

And actually, about three weeks ago, Micky, Peter and I were in Vegas at the MGM Grand. And we did about 12 shows in seven days. It was quite an experience.
