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

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 did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

It's funny, 'cause it seems like just yesterday that I was the youngest player just starting out. But now there are young players all over the league, and they'll ask me questions about playing overseas or finding an agent.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

I am now convinced that theoretical physics is actually philosophy.

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?

Although Alchemy has now fallen into contempt, and is even considered a thing of the past, the physicain should not be influenced by such judgements.

The kinds of shows that seem to work now, the comedy shows, are those which require very little attention. They're superficial and I like articulate comedy.

I'm a more mature actress now.

Before and during the first phase of the war his administration repeatedly maligned the UN but now, that Iraq has turned into a quagmire, it is asking the UN for help.

They haul you up there for, you know, week after week in this kind of star chamber proceeding. Then at the end of it they say, well, we found nothing, but now it's time for special counsel.

I have in hands, now, specimens of bottom from t he Gulf Stream, obtained by Lieutenant Craven, and I can say that they are among the most interesting that I have ever seen.

From now on it is only through a conscious choice and through a deliberate policy that humanity can survive.

So I am one of those bass players who can do something and musically, it was back then and now it is even more, if you noticed on the new album, I am not playing all the time anymore.
