Jimi Hendrix could play better than our best guys and he did it while he was dancing while being completely outrageous.

I think music is a lifting force, I think love is the lifting force in the human condition. I think you see someone loving on their child, and it moves you, and you can't help it.

I think ideas are still the most powerful things on the planet, and music is a great way to transmit them.

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

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

Generally we don't really consciously do it as a purpose-driven thing. ... It's really just a response to life.

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.
