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.

The thing is, I'm not a prolific songwriter.

Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences - everything from quantum physics to anthropology.

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

No matter how tired I am, I can only sleep for four hours at a time.

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.

In 1962 I was 17, so I was definitely watching the dance shows on television.

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 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.
