My relationship, my friendships with Grateful Dead, has shaped me. Our house is a shrine to all our musical heroes.

I'm a different person today than I was yesterday. I live for the moment and everything that happens in my life changes me.

You look at Vladimir Radmanovic, this guy is cut from stone. As if Michelangelo was reading and a lightening bolt flashed before him.

I had this fantastic collection of Grateful Dead T-shirts and live concert music the band had give me over all these years, decades of material, and when our boys became teenagers they started going through everything and wearing the shirts and listening to the music and that's what the Grateful Dead is all about.

If the UCLA teams of the late 1960s and early 1970s were subjected to the kind of scrutiny (other schools) have been, UCLA would probably have to forfeit about eight national championships and be on probation for the next 100 years.

When I'm at a show, I'm yelling and cheering. I'm with those guys [the Grateful Dead].

No matter how good you get, there's always something further out there.
