I've got a farm in England where I breed horses.

I've got a farm in England where I breed horses.

They want to know I'm doing good, the fans do.

My family is a part of my life and everything is all a mixture of enjoyment.

We'll get material in there and all of a sudden I'll switch the material around or the order of the show.

Around the property I have here, I'm about to put an all weather race track. I'm about to build stables. I'm about to ship over a couple of my thoroughbreds from England.

In the office, the mail that came in was always 10 to 1 for me.

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.

Over the last couple of years I have gotten an average of 2,000 letters a week from fans.

We wanted to interview people on the show, do variety, get the artists, the guests involved with us in our group. They wanted to keep the four guys together. We wanted to change the format.

You can put me in the basement or the penthouse; it doesn't matter to me.

During the summer, Screen Gems launched the New Monkees, which miserably failed I understand. I never saw it.

I'm about to challenge for the Maryland Cup in the next couple of years, as an owner, a trainer, and a rider.

The Monkees were never cancelled for a start. NBC wanted to do a third year.

The Monkees are like the mafia. You're in for life. Nobody gets out.

I would say that fifty percent of my show is killer comedy.

As far as groupies, I never saw any of them.

People always expect you to be jumping out of a Rolls Royce and being in the papers for drunk and disorderly or sleeping around.

I was mad at Screen Gems, but I'm not mad at them anymore.

It's a crying shame we don't play more parks and fairs. I would love to go right to the Chamber of Commerce or whoever they are, so that we could get involved in a different way.

And it really pisses Peter and Micky off when I get onto one of those tangents where I start to do humor.

I'm a married man. If I want sex at this particular point in my life, I go home for it.

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.

I own property in a quiet little town of Pennsylvania.

And actually, about three weeks ago, Micky, Peter and I were in Vegas at the MGM Grand. And we did about 12 shows in seven days. It was quite an experience.

I read a whole bunch of bits and pieces over the years, obviously from the fan magazines and the rest of the stuff, and I just wanted to give a little more insight into what's happening in my personal life.

The thing is, the reader doesn't want to hear about bad times.

I got hate letters from girls all over America because I wouldn't go to the prom with them.

I know a lot of people in the retirement village that I have a house in in Florida that are on the Internet and are reading the paper on the Internet, and they're communicating on the Internet.

I'm so reluctant to do newspaper interviews because it's so misleading how they interpret what you say.

I'm well in touch with my family, my children. I keep them on my answer phone, so if I want to hear one of their voices, all I have to do is punch it up and it will be there.

It used to be 65 when you went into retirement. Before that, when you got into your 50s, you were getting older.

Justin Bieber stole my haircut. And Axl Rose stole my dance!

Once you get into something so big, people think of you in one way.

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 Beatles set the rules. And the rules were: now just because we have long hair doesn't mean that we're rebellious.

The Monkees changed my life but ruined my acting career.

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 racing bug is never going to go away. It's like the Mafia.

Wherever I go, people still shout out: 'Hey, hey, we're The Monkees.' And I never tire of that.

You know I used to be a heartthrob, and now I'm a coronary.

Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different!

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

And it was only released in London last week, so when I go back to England Monday or whatever, I am expecting heaps of adulation. I'm hoping there is. If that doesn't happen I will be disappointed.

I've got a farm in England where I breed horses.

For me, the great problem growing up in England was that I had a very narrow concept of what God can be, and it was damn close to an old man with a beard.

I love England and the historical aspect of it.

There is probably nothing wrong with art for art's sake if we take the phrase seriously, and not take it to mean the kind of poetry written in England forty years ago.
