“I’ve always made funny faces, I guess. It’s just that more people are seeing them now!” - Peter Tork, Flip (1967)
“[Fame] was scary and it was interesting and it was fun and it was not fun. And I have to say that if it hadn’t been… I think if it had happened to me alone, as an individual entertainer, I might not have survived it.” - Peter, RNZ (2016)

Happy Headquarters Day!
“[Peter] was obviously a bright guy and he was obviously a dedicated musician. He really brought Headquarters to life.” - Michael Nesmith, YouTube in memoriam for Peter Tork
35 seconds of startled Monkees… we’ve all been there.
“I adore Peter Tork. He really is one of the most super people I’ve ever met. The day we said ‘Hello’ [on the set of ‘Hitting The High Seas’] he seemed to play his guitar and sing to me for hours […]. Peter is very talented; intelligent, too.” - Jennifer Moss, New Musical Express (1967)
“On Monday I visited the Troubadour for hoot night. Things were pretty grim, with nary a very talented performer in the room, when at about 11.30 Peter Tork himself appeared. He was a charming breath of fresh air and assurance.“ - Judy Sims, Disc and Music Echo (May 18, 1968)

“If I’m fond of my own work at all, it’s the opening lick to ‘You Told Me’ from Headquarters. The guitar starts off [mimics guitar] and then the banjo cuts in [mimics banjo] and suddenly, you’re in a whole new realm.” - Peter Tork, Guitar Player Magazine (October 2016)
