I'm busy communicating ideas.... I want you to know what I'm thinking. If you feel a connection, good. If you don't, fine.

I'm a commercial artist, both in music and art.

Jim Morrison was a well-built boy, larger than average, and young enough to maintain the engorged silent connection right through the residue of chemicals.

I'm a John Denver freak, and I don't give a sh*t that he looks like a f***ing turkey.

You start out performing because it's fun, then you learn more things and you want to do more than go "Na-na-na-na" on a stage. The production end is interesting, writing is interesting, and you learn to coordinate all these things.

I don't like to be told what to do at all. That's unfortunate because a lot of people come up with good ideas and can direct you.

I was appalled that the San Francisco ethic didn't mushroom and envelope the whole world into this loving community of acid freaks. I was very naive.
