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

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

My parents were both in show business. My father was an actor, my mom an actress, and both singers, dancers and actors. They met in Los Angeles doing a play together and so I grew up in a show biz family.

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.

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

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

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