CSNY is a little like putting seven pounds of stuff in a three pound bag.

It's hard to bullshit the ocean. It's not listening, you know what I mean.

I write very sporadically. I write sometimes three things in a week and then nothing for a year. I make a space for it but I don't push it. They just come and they come.

Don't waste the time. Time is the final currency, man. Not money, not power - it's time.

When I was 11 years old, my parents wanted me to do something besides get in trouble. So they enrolled me in sailing classes at the Sea Shell Association in Santa Barbara, Calif. From the moment I climbed into that 8-foot dinghy in 1952, I knew instinctively what to do and sensed I had done it before.

I do like to smoke pot. I think it's good.

Largely I write from life. ... I write from what happens to me. Mostly about love. People notice the other stuff more but I write mostly about love.
