I'm passionate about creating new systems that are more holistic to humankind. What do I mean by that? I mean, create new systems of business so that people with ethics both exploit their goods and their gifts while not exploiting the earth, exploiting one another.

We weren't like mates who decided to form a band. The other three met me because they were interested in being in the band that I was starting.

Rock and Roll is still asking people like me to live up to the old guard's concept of what success is but it doesn't mean anything.

We don't make music for people to take drugs to, we make music for people to live their life.

All I can go on is my own value system.

If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?

What bothers me is when music becomes entertainment. Of course, music is supposed to be entertaining, but go back to any period of time - music had a cultural significance on different levels, whether it was folk music, it was the news of the village, or it had to do with the rites of passage.
