They want to know I'm doing good, the fans do.
In the office, the mail that came in was always 10 to 1 for me.
Over the last couple of years I have gotten an average of 2,000 letters a week from fans.
My family is a part of my life and everything is all a mixture of enjoyment.
The Monkees were never cancelled for a start. NBC wanted to do a third year.
As far as groupies, I never saw any of them.
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.
The Monkees are like the mafia. You're in for life. Nobody gets out.
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.
You can put me in the basement or the penthouse; it doesn't matter to me.
I got hate letters from girls all over America because I wouldn't go to the prom with them.
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.
I wanted to be a jockey.
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.
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.
You know I used to be a heartthrob, and now I'm a coronary.
I'm so reluctant to do newspaper interviews because it's so misleading how they interpret what you say.
America changed my life, but I still think of home and working in Scotland was an important part of that.
