And what we have to be is free.
~Peter Tork~

I played a simpleton. It was a character I had developed on the Greenwich Village stages as a way of protecting myself against the results of my bad jokes. "Of course you wouldn't like that joke because what kind of a fool I am." It just expanded from there. --Peter Tork
Jeff Barry produced "Your Auntie Grizelda." He was a pretty good producer. He said, "Make some sound effects here in the middle." "Oh, no, I can't do that." So I tried and I got into the swing of it and I started to lose my tempo, but it was funny. Jack Keller co-wrote it. He said, "We got a song for you Peter, it's a protest song, like '19th Nervous Breakdown.'" --Peter Tork
The harpsichord was something I wanted to do because I am partly a classicist. Bach was my favorite computer, and horpsichords were my thing. When Mike was in my dressing room, I was noodling around with the solo for "The Girl I Knew Somewhere," and I hit that discord on the down beat at the end--I hadn't meant to do that. I said, "What was that?" Mike said, "I heard it!" That was great-we were tickled to death to have this funny note on the record. On "Shades of Grey," Mike wrote the horn and cello parts, sang them to me, and I notated them. I was also really pleased with that little piano introduction I wrote. We were just thrilled to death with that song. --Peter Tork
I was protecting myself by not becoming too involved, because I always feared that what I wanted would be taken away from me, so I didn't dare want anything. When Micky said, "You can't go back in the studio," that was the end for me of any hopes of having a real live group, which is what I wanted at the time. At that point, I had had it. I was utterly disappointed. So when I had the chance, I quit. --Peter Tork
The weight and speed and the gush of attention is inhuman. It is beyond the capacity of anybody to absorb. It's one thing for a banker to work his way up to the point where he's making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. It's another thing to make a million-five in two years after having lived on $50 a week. --Peter Tork
