I was an entertainer, ever since I was a kid.

The Monkees are to the Beatles what 'Star Trek' is to NASA. They are both totally valid in their contexts.

Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences - everything from quantum physics to anthropology.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is not a public democratic organization; it's a private club basically. It's like a private golf club and they decide who they're going to let in the club.

When my 'Scientific American' arrives every month, I read it cover to cover.

I had piano lessons at five and started guitar at ten, but although music and acting was always around me, my parents never pressured me into it.

Many people have fond memories of 'The Monkees.' I fondly remember it, too.
