Writing is a great love of mine.

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

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 was an entertainer, ever since I was a kid.

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.

When I do my solo concerts, I'm used to being on the stage for two hours solid, singing 16 songs. And when I did 'Funny Thing,' I was on the stage the whole time. This is much more difficult. It's the difference between racing and sprinting. This is sprinting. And I have to learn to pace myself.
