'Vegetarian' is a slippery word. I don't eat cheese, I don't eat duck - the point is I'm vegan.

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

I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.

Ideal government would be a very boring job - it would be a matter of organizing a lot of utilities and keeping the wires together and the power plant and all that kind of stuff. It's not a matter of telling people how to live, it's a matter of making it pleasant for them to live. Government should be in the position of distributing food, stuff like that.

My solo albums were each like a half-finished puzzle; they represented only the beginning of a full picture. Simply put, they were inadequate and incomplete.

The way I paint is similar to rock in that you don't stand around and say, 'Gee, what are they talking about?' Rock is simple, blunt, colorful. Same with my paintings. You don't stand back and wonder what it is. That's Jim Morrison, that's a panda, that's a scene on the West Coast. It's not abstract.

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