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

I am extremely lucky; I've never been ill - although about 20 years ago I broke my right arm hang gliding.

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.

When I look back on my life, I wonder how I survived - my mother said I had a guardian angel.

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

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

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