If John Lennon is deported, I'm leaving too...with my musicians..and my marijuana.

I have the feeling that in a balanced life one should die penniless. The trick is dismantling.

Never mind the transience of show business and popularity. When we hear Ray Charles, we go, 'That's a great singer.' You don't need a reporter or a writer to tell us. Good is good and it should shine through the years.

Yes, I like that word. "More" is a prayer to God, isn't it? Gratitude and plea, all in one.

You jump right over anything in the past, and you don't analyze problems.

Monterey was the Maraschino cherry on top of the Sundae that was the '60s. It was totally unprecedented, and the audience was unprecedented in their joy.

So its mix and match. Hold your line when you really feel something youre saying is wonderful and you really want to get this point across and prove it to your partner by just throwing it into the tape and letting it speak for itself.
