DAVY JONES

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

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

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

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

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

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

I own property in a quiet little town of Pennsylvania.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

There's an audience for everything.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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