All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire

Jerry Garcia used to take his paints on the road. I don't do that. Either I'm a singer or a painter. I'm not good at multi-tasking.

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

You can do any number of things in the music business aside from trying to look like you're 25. To me it's embarrassing.

I do what I love to do, what I choose to do.

Applause is interesting, but I'm a monster with or without it. Something is either well written or it isn't. 'White Rabbit' is not well written, and no amount of applause or royalties can convince me it is. I could have done a better job with those lyrics. They didn't say what I wanted.
