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

I'm now learning how to distinguish when I'm acting and when I'm not acting - offstage as well as onstage.

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

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.

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.

The thing is, I'm not a prolific songwriter.

I've never been one to chase awards or anything like that, to be honest.
