Woodstock - I didn't see anybody play, except when I was standing backstage waiting to go on, because it was so muddy. And the weather was so horrible, you literally couldn't get there except by helicopter.

When you get older, it's not about what you did that you regret, it's what you didn't do.

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.

My parents were very open about what kind of talent I had. They never pushed me to become an accountant because they knew that would be just absolutely ridiculous. So they were encouraging in what I am able to do with some success.

Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead did as much for mankind as any president.

Death is like taking an intermission when you can't come back. I like living and being around.

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