People ask me if I ever get sick of playing 'Daydream Believer' or whatever. But I don't look at it that way. Do they ask if Tony Bennett is tired of 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco?'
The Monkees were never cancelled for a start. NBC wanted to do a third year.
I'm really a clean-cut kid.
People always expect you to be jumping out of a Rolls Royce and being in the papers for drunk and disorderly or sleeping around.
During the summer, Screen Gems launched the New Monkees, which miserably failed I understand. I never saw it.
I was mad at Screen Gems, but I'm not mad at them anymore.
As far as groupies, I never saw any of them.
Groupies to me, were people who followed you around. Familiar faces who were always there, asking for autographs. We have more of those now, but they're not sexual.
You know I used to be a heartthrob, and now I'm a coronary.
Before I was an actor I was an apprentice jockey, and now I'm out there racing against boys, sort of the spokesperson for people over 50 that they can do it.
I wanted to be a jockey.
I'm a married man. If I want sex at this particular point in my life, I go home for it.
The Monkees are like the mafia. You're in for life. Nobody gets out.
Wherever I go, people still shout out: 'Hey, hey, we're The Monkees.' And I never tire of that.
The only people who didn't like The Monkees were the French, and they don't even like themselves, so what's the point?
The Monkees changed my life but ruined my acting career.
