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

After high school I was going to be an architect. In fact, I was studying to be an architect when the audition for 'The Monkees' came along.

People come and people go, moving fast and moving slow, I'm in a crowd and yet I'm all alone.

Writing is a great love of mine.

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

In 1962 I was 17, so I was definitely watching the dance shows on television.

And singing is a physical thing - your vocal cords are these muscles.
