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

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

Writing is a great love of mine.

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.

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.

There was never any pressure on me to go into the business, but I was always aware of it. I'd go on the set with my father and he and my mother would always be singing.

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