Yes, I am a good singer.

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.

When a kid can understand that a word can mean two things, there's some real thinking going on. They have a vested interest in finding out what a word means, because it's the punch line to a joke.

Hope is like a road in the country there was never a road but when many people walk on it the road comes into existence.

There are many things that you can't measure. But the great fun of what I do for a living is figuring out ways to measure things that people previously considered intangible.

A hungry stomach makes a short prayer.

I know everything that you can do with digital processing and digital editing inside and out, but I absolutely refuse to push the buttons and don't even want to know how to load and unload the files.

I have played so many romantic roles that I don't know if I am really a romantic in real life. I get confused about the real me.

I have four older siblings and one younger, and all three of my brothers are in the music industry. My dad was really involved in music, too, with the disco, and he also started Radio Caroline and was the one who invented pirate radio, if you like, off on a coast in England on a boat.

Truly, I am a woman of the last minute. When I was pregnant, I organised three different hospitals because I couldn't decide where I wanted to have my baby: London, Rome or Paris. In the end, I decided to go to Rome, arrived on the Monday and gave birth on the Saturday.

I'm a 7 o'clock act. My people want to go to a show, a dinner and then go home and go to bed.

I think if we taped a lot of families that claim to be relatively normal, you'd be surprised when you hear some of the things said.

I just signed to do my next book with Ecco Press, a new primer or encyclopedia. This will be my take on what classic Italian cooking is.

The most important function of a bibliographic entry is to help the reader obtain a copy of the cited work.

Providing patients and consumers with solid information on the cost and quality of their healthcare options can literally make the difference between life or death; and play a decisive role in whether a family or employer can afford healthcare.

Whether or not you believe that after three days of being dead and entombed, Jesus got up and walked out of his own accord, what you cannot argue about is the fervent belief of the followers that this happened.

When I started writing and illustrating, I knew little of classic children's literature. My stories came from real life, from my concerns about what was happening in the world.
