writing great-love mines
Writing is a great love of mine.
months
When my 'Scientific American' arrives every month, I read it cover to cover.
songwriters
The thing is, I'm not a prolific songwriter.
sleep tired four
No matter how tired I am, I can only sleep for four hours at a time.
littles berries influence
My influences were Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry.
stars nasa
The Monkees are to the Beatles what 'Star Trek' is to NASA. They are both totally valid in their contexts.
moving people crowds
People come and people go, moving fast and moving slow, I'm in a crowd and yet I'm all alone....
memories people remember
Many people have fond memories of 'The Monkees.' I fondly remember it, too.
learning acting acting-now
I'm now learning how to distinguish when I'm acting and when I'm not acting - offstage as well as onstage.
clothes yeah
Yeah I did put my clothes on, but my clothes took off... Could it be my clothes are putting me on??
mother angel looks
When I look back on my life, I wonder how I survived - my mother said I had a guardian angel.
golf rock-and-roll organization
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.
song funny-things two
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.
school boys years
What happened was, my parents after Circus Boy decided to take me out of show business for two years to go back to normal school. It was the smartest thing they ever did.
