We did very little improvisation on camera, and once in a while we did.

Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.

I don't know about friends, but what time I spent with The Beatles they were very courteous to me.

I did as well as I knew how and have nothing to be ashamed of.

Yes, I am a good singer.

No, in 1968 I still wanted to be a Pop Star, and be about the music. Now, I want to be just about the music.

Oh, the most fun thing I've ever been asked to autograph was breasts.

Hitting a baseball well, as in cricket, is a very rare skill. One of most difficult things to do in the world to do, hitting a ball coming at you at ninety miles an hour with a round bat. Wonderful to watch.

Elvis deserves a lot of credit for bringing the blues to middle America, not the Vegas stuff. The early stuff, The Sun records, and the first few RCA records. He was wonderful, he had the power, the drive, and he was so dedicated to his music.

I like to listen the blues and some classical.

The blues brings you back into the fold. The blues isn't about the blues, it's about we have all had the blues and we are all in this together.

Michael Sunday and I are the original members of the band. We first did it just for charities and benefit concerts. It was very ad-hoc, and before we knew it, we were really a band. We went through several drummers and guitarists before we were happy with the line up.

Getting to play the blues has been transcendant for me. I can't say if my finest hour is yet to come, you want to make a dent in this world, well I do anyway.

Ringo is one of the world's true humans. The only one out those four guys, who did not have an agenda. Ringo was just into the music.

Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins.

I never listen to music in the house, I listen to music in the car.

I get to play a scorching lead guitar, and there's not much that's more fun than that.

I have never done Cult TV before, the convention was good. It gives the fans a chance to meet the celebrities. Connect with the guy that used to be a bunch of coloured dots on your TV screen.

Every country has it trade offs.

It was so much fun to do, play the blues and then play a Monkees' set on the same night.

Put you energy into music. If it fails you, you can become an accountant or a dentist. And then if you become a dentist or an accountant, it's too late to become a musician afterwards.

I am a still friend with Dave Crosby, he's a weird duck but I like him a lot.

There hasn't been one show that we did, that I didn't enjoy to some extent.

Original Monkees' songs were produced very thinly, on purpose.

We did very little improvisation on camera, and once in a while we did.

The Monkees was a straight sitcom, we used the same plots that were on the other situation comedies at the time. So the music wasn't threatening, we weren't threatening.

The four of us couldn't have made a record with the time left over when we were shooting the show. We were on stage from 7.30 in the morning 'til 7 at night. Later on, when there was a break from filming, and we were sick of doing it the old way.

Only one of us would usually sing lead. Which most of the time was, Mickey or Dave. They thought it was perfectly a natural routine, because Mickey and Dave saw themselves as TV actors.

The groupies are far more real now than there were then.

My most favourite gigs that ever happened were solo, before The Monkees ever happened.

I am more of an old black and white movies fan.

Shoe Suede Blues is ten years old this year. The Band consists of four members.

The blues brings you back into the fold. The blues isnt about the blues its about we have all had the blues and we are all in this together.

Pop music disco music and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life putting it away.

I've had some success at writing and directing, and I like it. It's infinitely more creative than just acting, and I have things I want to say and do.

I have had almost every job under the sun, it feels like. One of the first jobs I took was as a door-to-door pest control salesman in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Saints and Sinners may be separated by their actions, but they are united by their reaction to passion.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are forced to play in something called the 'Quicken Loans Arena.' This is a terrible name for a sports venue.

The one lesson I've learned from technology and food is the only time you know you're doing the wrong thing is when you're doing what everyone else is doing.

If it's not going to sound like Terrapin Station, what's the point of playing Terrapin Station?

The harder I work, the luckier I become.

Let's start getting some free trade agreements started as soon as we can. We need to get on with it; we need to get a grip and make progress.

In America, Miramax are using a 'New York Times' review that said 'Trainspotting' makes 'Kids' look like a 1960s episode of 'Sesame Street.'

We were only there for five days and during that time Tom was a bit annoyed that the French were more interested in me and my schoolgirl outfit than him and his long scarf.

Don’t seek, don’t search, don’t ask, don’t knock, don’t demand – relax.

At least 23,000 civilians have also died in the Iraqi killing field and the U.S. is stuck in a quagmire.

Yes, I've had some pretty good luck finding wonderful talent.

I love driving at Monaco but the rest of it, well, I can absolutely take it or leave it. It's extremely pretentious and really not my cup of tea.

A hospital should also have a recovery room adjoining the cashiers office.
