I left rock and roll professionally at about 49. That's too long as far as I'm concerned. Some people can do it; it depends on what you were.

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.

People say Altamont was the end of the 60s. It was unfortunate, but at the time we didnt think of it as signaling anything. The fact that nobody got killed at Woodstock is amazing because that was half a million people. We only had 300,000 at Altamont.

There is an attitude that we should be able to have everything. No, you shouldn't be able to have anything. I'd like a helicopter, but I can't afford a helicopter, so I don't buy one. People are buying stuff they can't afford on credit. I bought my Ford hybrid with cash.

You don't have to wear fur. They make such great fakes. There's no reason to kill an animal.

I don t wanna see old people on a rock & roll stage.

When you learn that a truth is a lie, anger follows.
