When I look back on my life, I wonder how I survived - my mother said I had a guardian angel.
From Micky Dolenz
Many people have fond memories of 'The Monkees.' I fondly remember it, too.
They were looking for actors - real actors - who could play instruments. There was a lot of improvisation and scene work involved in addition to the music. The auditions went on for a long time.
I'm now learning how to distinguish when I'm acting and when I'm not acting - offstage as well as onstage.
The thing is, I'm not a prolific songwriter.
And singing is a physical thing - your vocal cords are these muscles.
I was an entertainer, ever since I was a kid.
My influences were Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry.
My parents were both in show business. My father was an actor, my mom an actress, and both singers, dancers and actors. They met in Los Angeles doing a play together and so I grew up in a show biz family.
What happened was, my parents after 'Circus Boy' decided to take me out of show business for two years to go back to normal school. It was the smartest thing they ever did.
